    In this volatile Times, I find it quite difficult to create a well balanced diversified Cash Positions with Interactivebrokers, as IB allows it without any Margins

    We are in extreme "Risc On - Risc Off" Times and I just see, I am "virtually" loosing Money not being diversified invested in other Currencies

    I will show some monthly Charts to visualize my Thoughts

    I would like to discuss and to find a profitable Solution, WHEN to start to diversify my EURO in other Currencies - because we are in a "Risc Off" Moment - and the Debt Crisis in Europe could end up with the "EURO BONDS" and this "Event" will give the EURO a temporary Boost

    Please see the Interest Rates given by IB on monthly Dates

    The most revarding Currency is the Indian Ruppe - but I did not find any Possibility to convert EURO to INR with IB

    The scond most revarding Currency ( around 5 % Interest Rates per Year ) is the AUD - and this would compensate a Part of a Devaluation against the EURO
