Not going to put my money into it this year either. Going to put all my money against the mortgage.

Cash only until the Eurozone crisis is sorted, some abysmal EU data out leading out to the New Year. Also US debt crisis and a China debt crisis.

I'm expecting an EU bank failure before too long. I'll review when the ASX is under 3000 and The Fed are going to print along with what remains of the EMU.

I put mine in cash over a year ago,, it will stay there until an ounce of gold buys the ASX.

Neutral.

It's my only exposure to the stock market and my super isn't a huge sum in the cosmic scheme of things.
It is also really a kind of work of fiction, as I have limited faith that I'll ever get it back.

I went defensive just before the GFC due to an apparently well-timed sense of unease. However I don't have the same sense of imminent doom right now (although I know I should). If I do, I'll switch to defensive. There's nothing like hard facts to base your decision-making on! :rolleyes:

No new money in though, other than the compulsory contributions - like Tor, any spare cash will be aggressively directed toward the mortgage.

I'm currently in cash and not looking to move unless there is a major fall in the markets (like in early 2009).

That bottom was facilitated by QE1, I'm waiting for QE3.

Why not run your own SMSF and buy, say, Perth Mint gold warrants on the ASX?
