    Mine are to short financials, short transport companies, short consumer discretionary stock options and long gold options. Wait for gold to pop, take up a long term put position on gold and maybe mint some coins from its slide from 900+ to mid levels.

    That, and buy my first home.

    Hi Mathew,

    My plans are:

    – Get a new accountant, (i've got a couple in mind) before I do anything discuss my goals with them – unless they hold a financial services licence or a real estate licence they can only advise on tax issues – get the full picture not just tax
    – No share purchases, offload the piddly amount of shares I currently own at a loss – great short term panic attitude, with quality companies paying dividends of over 8% this is a great strategy.
    – No property purchases, do a minor reno on currently owned property, increase the rent on it, sell it for a good profit property markethas slowed due to the rest of the panic merchants or over committed out there – good luck
    – Build 2 houses behind another property we already own this might go ok as the building costs may have gone down – depends on how many builders go bust.
    – Get hubby to take 3 months off work, either leave without pay, or take his long service leave and travel around Aus probably best done when investments doing better – I would be earning the cash to buy cheaper good quality investments – how are you going to monitor the contruction of the properties?

    Thanks for advice.  My plans changed totally since writing this.  Good points.
