Thanks piezone i have been quite worried about inflation to as it seems to take a huge chunk outta any future earnings. So your suggesting sound companies with potential earnings growth. would more heavy weighting towards emerging markets do the trick?

I'm looking to find a bunch of books written by ex or current hedge fund managers. I reckon its the quickest way for me at least to turn a profit is reading from the guys whove done it all and proven it. 80% of the investing stuff out there is just plain junk. I will exclude memoirs like pit...

doesnt look like a 50bps cut is likely. 25bps + that crappy rescue package looks like a more likely outcome. though ill def be outta the market on the day the decision is announced
