Hi EP, You are scaring the hell outta me now.
You might want to keep the total percentage in structured products under a certain percentage, because they might have massive losses (-90%) in certain events.

The whole idea of investing in them was as a hedge and a safe way (principal return guaranteed) to gain from widening credit spreads. However, from what you and TJ wrote it isn't sounding such a good risk/reward play.

I have some gold and some energy and am reluctant to add to them at these levels. Any other good investment ideas?
