Well, you're not retiring right now, unless you're older than I recall, in which case I want your moisturiser brand.

If you were retiring right now, I'd say split your money between multiple US banks, Irish banks, British banks and German banks, because they're all Government insured up to a certain amount, and splitting your risk between countries is a good thing.

If you were looking to make money at medium risk, there's a Gartmore China opportunities fund that has been very good for us in the last year.
