    I think the Original poster is entirely sensible to avoid any contact with the (obviously corrupt) banking system and keep all their money under the bed!

    In fact, I'm currently conducting research into such enlightened investors.
    If you could please post your house number and postcode, I'll make sure details of your investment strategy appear in my survey. :whistle:

    Under the bed is safer than in a bank in my opinion.

    In that case - what's your address?

    I'm sure many people would like to congratulate you on your wise views on cash management, in person.

    If you don't want to publish it here - that just confirms how risky it is having large sums of cash at home!

    EDIT: I posted in haste - Now realised that alanswg beat me to it!
