  7. It seems that half of the voters prefer their capital to be in real assets (gold, commodities, real estate)... But it'd be great to have some more votes :)
     
  8. Anyone else? Let's make it a respectable 100 votes!
     
  9. Well you have to put your capital SOMEWHERE, so if none of the options above, where would you put it?
     
  10. As a matter of fact I haven't put art and jewelry in the options, because they are not securitized, but I doubt that this is what he has in mind...
