    Lets say you have 5 million $US today. You will be taking a intergalactic journey for 7 years where you can't make contact with earth in that time. Where or how would you invest that cash? Regardz Colin J Davies Attention: It's finally arrived, The worlds first DSP.

              I'd put 1 mio into a hedge fund. The other 4 would be diversified into various portfolios including (but not limited to) currency futures, oil futures and stocks. The stock portfolio would be setup using a dynamic hedging strategy - most likely something more exotic than a simple delta hedge. Preferably a butterfly spread. I'd say about 2 mio into the stocks. The agent handling my portfolio would also have strict instructions as to how often and when to make transactions. I would also purchase and hold property in Portugal and perhaps an emerging market like Bulgaria. I think another 1.5 in property would be decent. The remaining 0.5 I'd purchase bonds with. I predict a return somewhere around 15-20% per year. You do the math. John Theal Physicist at Large Got CAD? http://www.presenter3d.com[^]

Where or how would you invest that cash? Leave the 4 million in a suitcase and place it on your apartment floor. Use the other million to insure the suitcase for 10 million. Don't forget to unlock your door before you go. ;P

                          If I were to embark on an intergalactic journey.. I'd never come back, and I don't think earth currency has any value out there. So screw the money! -- Weiter, weiter, ins verderben. Wir müssen leben bis wir sterben. I blog too now[^]
