<p>[QUOTE="fatima, post: 1203568, member: 22143"]If you are only concerned about protecting your money due to $ erosion, then open a Forex account. It's liquid and you won't have any difficulties like with the other options. If your plan is to horde foreign currency, physical or in foreign bank account as safety do to a $ default, keep in mind that if that happens, they will most likely not redeem your money. In such an event, it's very possible if not probable that foreign countries will freeze assets until the USA pays them back their debt. None the less here is some advice. </p><p><br /></p><p>Stay away from China. The communist dictators running that country are balancing the demands of an unsustainable population vs heavy exploitation of the people and environment with their western corporate partners. Only about 12-15% of the population is gaining the benefits and there is heavy corruption. Huge riots are taking place there that now go unreported in the Western media. Stay away from any country where 2/3rds of the population is living in dire poverty and has no hope of improvement.

It's banksters are willing partners with the USA banksters. Japan? Fukushima should be worrying to everyone.
