    Pay very close attention to what's happening in Sri Lanka.

    They are the first to fall. Sad to see.

    What's happening there is coming to Europe.

    Capital Gearing Trust is only down 0.97% year to date and up 0.2% over the last 6 months so doing quite well.

    It is an interesting asset mix:

    Index Linked Gov’t Bonds 32%

    Conventional Gov’t Bonds 6%

    Pref Shares / Corp Debt 11%

    Funds / Equities 44%

    Cash 6%

    Gold 1%


    With the 44% funds and equities comprising:

    Equities 16%

    Property 16% 

    Loans 4%

    Infrastructure 8%

    Private Equity / Hedge 1%




    Cash has performed better than that...
    Capital gearing is up 5.8% over the last year so cash has not performed better.
    Come the liquidity crunch, everything will go down.

    That, or the nuclear apocalypse, or we'll all be too busy scratching our monkey pox lesions to care about what's going on in the world...

    We will have what the Sri Lankans are having, which is food and fuel shortages which will cause social unrest.

    Unless one goes to cash, I guess so....   but would one then miss a huge upswing in gold/silver price following the crash?

    I'm beginning to wonder if anything would get the UK population into the streets. The situation is slightly different over here, with our government preferring that many are priced out of existence. So far it is being accepted as a done deal, just as austerity was.

    Nah. Ray Dalio is far more reasoned in his views.
