Yes. If I'm wrong the loss could be large. If I'm right, it should be a big move and happen within a few weeks. So puts are the best vehicle, as long as premium isn't absurd.
Ok but by keeping your money in cash, you will earn diddly squat for 10 years. Even putting it into a very safe low volatility portfolio yielding 2% real per annum would make you 25% richer within a decade, with little or no appreciable downside. If there is 2% inflation, cash could lose you 25% in 10 years.
Savings in cash is actually an investment in a currency. i would rather be in gold then cash that has been doing well? instead of having my inter trade "parks"in cash gold is better. that being said it is high and alot of attention needs to be there. As fro the talk about countries buying and selling gold. I have seen it mentioned a few times that when countries buy and sell they do so at a fixed price of under 50$ ?? i saw RON PAUL mention the amount when he questioned the the us gold holdings.. wikipedia i think confirmed this ?
