alternative places to invest part II

sorry to all of you who replied to my original post this year. my notifications were turned off and i had no idea it was being responded to.

maybe i wasn't specific enough. i'm talking about places (if they exist) that would be safe if the dollar stopped being the world reserve currency. If we could no longer afford the service on our debt. hyper inflation. all that great stuff.

i have read benjamin grahms intelligent investing. will check out Jeremy Siegel. i agree with what graham is saying but he was writing at a time where america's economy was a given i think. i bet he would have had some other ideas if he saw america in a time of transition as i do.

i do believe in buying and holding. i have never sold a stock to date. following graham's guidelines i have 2/3 in US stocks, 1/3 US bonds. and i am moving toward having 1/3 of stock in markets outside the US.

there are few other things like the house equity (we put about 1/3rd down) and some stock options which are sizeable.

so in the event of the dollar loosing it's status what would this mean for all my assets bought in US dollars? what of the non-US stock? i want to read a book explaining these mechanisms and ways to protect yourself that isn't a pitch for some investment firm.

now i'm gonna reread all the responses to original post and try to respond. thx
