Poll question: Fleeing the Dollar.. What is your favorite "safe have" currency?
A diversified portfolio is always bests, but all things being equal, which is your favorite currency for your investment nest egg to wait out the Bush Administration?

4. GOLD
Gold does not depend for its value on any national currency.

The big problem is finding a safe place to keep it. And, of course, paying for its storage...

6. I have a small Canadian account
Mainly for convenience while travelling there, not investment. In the long run, I think the Euro will do better.

8. The euro
In good faith, i think that the euro
is better than keeping the pound.
I can rationalize it a lotta ways,
but to be honest the wish, root,
it is that the european peoples be
strong enough en-bloc to collectively
survive as a complexity, as the
system of government is superior,
by far, having tasted both.
The bush cult demand an opposing
federalism for common sense's
sake, and the euro is a critical
coming together, a unity, in
all the civil, good healthy human
interests, feminist, whatnot interests.

The pound small separatism, is no
gesture of unity, and sadly divides
europe so incredibly strategically
from an american point of view.
I'm amazed so few britons have caught
on to play in to it so much.
No derision of britains, no,
rather just hmmm... better to
focus on the issues of strategic
legal federalism for survival's
sake. The neocon scourge will
demand it before its all over.
One among many.
That is what i feel in the euro
and the goodwill of all european
peoples and their increasingly
impressive, way of arts, and
life that is very first world
impressive indeed.
The euro is a fine gesture to
feel proud of. Just circulate
the corrency jointly with the
pound by priming the pump with the
bbc "CORPORATION" paying back its
captive shareholders (license payers)
100 euros cash.

Nothing like priming the pump
and letting the currencies be used
in parallel, pricing in parallel.
Being between america and europe
is not the fact. Britain is very
very very very europe and should
be playing to the unity strength
of europe. The joint power can
temper dangerous tendencies in
americana.
