19. Invest in gold/silver. Given the new banking laws gold dealers in the near future are going to be restricted to how much money they can wire to gold providers outside of the country,. Subsequently gold from outside of the US (that the US can’t confiscate) will become increasing difficult to obtain making the price of gold go up. This is considered a long-term investment.  www.monex.com

For liquidity put money into a MCA (multi-currency account) i.e. Canadian dollar, Brazilian real BRL, Singapore dollar, Australian dollar, Swiss franc, Hong Kong dollar, IQN, Great British pound or foreign currency of a country you travel too. You can get a credit card for travel while having currency available where you travel to. HSBC is an international bank that may be a good choice to set up a MCA with. Or get hold of hard currency that can be keep in a personal safe along with precious metals and other important papers.

Or put your cash into the Bank of Nova Scotia in Canada, buy gold via this bank and borrow cash from yourself off your gold to keep in the account when needed. (Tip from multi-millionaire George Green)

Set up a secret verbal password that only you and your private banker know. You will use this password to do remote banking by phone when needed…like lifting a spending limit on debit cards or secure transfers of funds for purchases or investments.

Any funds in bank accounts over 250k need to have additional insurance. For example, Lloyds of London does not cover checking accounts but do for other things – Abbott Downing with WF for accounts with over 25M$. Consider immediately insuring funds in your accounts until you transfer them over to other investment vehicles.

I'd be interested in doing a long-term study of those who spend at least one-hour a day reading and studying The Wall Street Journal (on a long-term basis). I've spent a lot of time looking-at crazy, controversial, and historical subjects -- and it's just about ruined me -- with seemingly no benefit to anyone else. I've gone round and round with certain religious individuals on the most basic ethic topics -- with no positive results -- and many negative consequences. I have been critical of the Torah -- but I envy really smart and successful Jewish people -- and often wonder if they really are God's Chosen People. The following lecture is by just such a person:
