Forget the dollar and gold, here are the real safe havens ... Contemplating eurozone disintegration, renewed hostilities in Korea and an anti-inflationary clampdown in China, investors' default reaction has been a time-honoured retreat into the perceived safe havens of the dollar, Treasuries and gold. I'm not sure this makes much sense. Increasing exposure to the liabilities and currency of a debt-burdened economy flirting with deflation and a metal with little utility and less yield seems like an odd response to extreme market stress. Faced with the probability of heightened volatility, I would rather protect myself with the factor that all real investments have in common – a reliable income. Over the long haul, the most important element of an investor's total return is the re-investment of this income. – UK Telegraph
