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?

No way to stop the tide! The place is just to easy for the illegals to come over find job and produce something.

Food by the pile. Good infrastructure. Safe. One can blend easily...

No wonder the illegals go through all this pain to come over.

I don't think that wall is going to stop them.
