If you pull everything out of the market then you're at risk with a
weak dollar/inflation scenario. It's not an easy decision right now
but strategic metals and oil should do OK unless we have a global
depression. Cash is king in a depression of course, but which
currency and how to invest in it, is an interesting problem.
