Got to watch those hedge funds carefully, they may be next shoe to drop under this volatile market conditions. Also, risk with buying ETFs is getting high; so even if one is right on direction, sector etc the ETFs issuer's health is going to be questionable in this market. Do you like ETFs more than I do? :-)

Freddie and Fannie mortgage portfolio amounts to $5,300 billion (the equivalent of four times the external public debt of all developing countries). I don't think it is us who are in trouble.

I must be a moron,because i can't figure out a way to move capital outside the U S,other than to buy shares in Canadian companies ,and have them send me the stock certificates..or gold that i hold here..CEF is the only other thing that might be viable.. If you move it to a Caribbean bank you have to set up an IBC,which is more than just cumbersome ,and in other countries you still have to deal with a bank or brokerage which have their own risks.. Ideally,it seems that you would have a convertible bond or preferred denominated in Swiss Francs on major international companies ,and hold the certificates myself.i am just over my head in this area.. Scotia bank has an office in the U S Virgin Islands.. All thoughts appreciated..Prometheus
