Playing it safe as the Euro currency crisis continues


It seems that I'm not the only one who thinks investing in land can offer protection against the possibility of an even greater economic downturn in the Eurozone:

"From a personal investing perspective, therefore, it is advisable that one consider holding at least some small part of their assets in “hard asset” alternative investments such as precious metals, oil, agricultural land, and others. These hard assets can act as a hedge against inflation, thereby offering some protection from the worst effects of massive QE."

  1. Land - both property and farmland investments - are an excellent defense in the current environment. They can pay good current income, offer a nice hedge against inflation, and also help you sleep more soundly at night as they will not be jumping around every day like stocks!
