Hi,
As most people know, the time for a further US$ slide is getting nearer..
To be short(and hopefully not sounding conceited) about it I have a few million dollars I need to protect but I also need as much as possible for working capital(all in the United States).. I already do futures/futures options trades on gold/silver and various other commodities which is mitigating the problem but even this won't be enough if there's a 'sudden' large drop..(I'm comfortable doing these trades and it helps that I have my risk spread across a number of trades at the same time unlike the Forex option below)
There's only two ways I can see of getting around this:
1) Forex and by extension very high-leverage and maintenance margins which I wouldn't be totally comfortable doing (myself at least)
2) If there is some institution where I can buy hard-assets(gold/silver) or foreign currency and borrow against it in dollars at a decent rate
Can anyone give me some leads on the who/where/how of either of the two above or any other angle? My preference would be number 2. I'm very conscious of avoiding the average 'financial advisor' for obvious reasons -- I need someone I know can deliver. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated -- it seems it's as hard to hold onto wealth as it is to get/make it!
