Rescuing your money.
Notice: I've decided to put this note at the top of several of my post that draw in traffic to this weblog. So that there are no surprises for unsuspecting visitors you are on a men's issues blog. That's right a pro-male web log. I'm also an anti-feminist. Therefore this web log contains many articles and commentaries that are in opposition to feminism. So if your a gynocentric male, male feminist, or feminist sympathizer of either gender this is not the place for you.
If you wish to leave now here are a few links for you:

If you've decided to hang around I will now return you to our regularly schedulded program already in progress.
Just in case you've haven't been following the news the US Dollar is currently in a free fall. There's probably nothing that can be done about it except to cushion yourself from the blow of the empending economic fall out. Here's how you do that.

Also look into online or a brokerage firm offline that will offer international stock trading capabilities.
you this capability.
Here are a few I've found online:

http://www.interactivebrokers.com/
http://www.tdwaterhouse.com/
http://www.etrade.com/
and then there's this good informational site:
http://www.emergingmarkets.com/
Then there's option number four, buying your coins directly from the mint where the country is located. Remember, you want to buy gold and silver *Euro* coins, not dollar based coins. The list of countries that use the Euro as currency is as follows: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Monaco, The Netherlands, Portugal, San Marino, Slovenia, Spain, and the Vatican City. So if you can go to the mint web site for one of the countries listed and see what they have to offer.
