Many people are expecting a correction/crash this year. The US QE2 programme runs out in June & it's debatable whether they carry on printing money or not after that. Many believe they will. There's also the PIGS (Portugal, Ireland, Greece & Spain) with huge problems in Europe. Gold, silver or some real assets, like commodities may be best. The ETFs short S&P, or short FTSE100 are others to consider. The market is likely to continue to be volatile in the short term. The current savings rates are unlikely to beat inflation and will likely result in a net loss.
