Put your cash here:
It's corrected 7% so far this year, and will do another 15% in the next 8-15 months (it's done 16% over the last 12 months). A $1500 trip to Hong Kong can do wonders for your investments, just on the exchange rates.
Get your passport, a current utility bill (original one), and get thee to Hong Kong. Go to the HSBC just two blocks from the Central ferry terminal. Then open up a foreign currency private account in HKD, USD and CNY (Chinese Renminbi). Make deposits from USD and convert them to CNY.
You get the exchange rate, but you're in an economically open locale of Hong Kong, and have world-wide access to your funds via any HSBC office (several on the West Coast, and heavy in the North East), and via Internet access to your funds (can do a 24 hour transfer to any US account). And with the debit card, you can get your funds from ANY ATM worldwide.
Seriously, it's a free 15%; the 0.75% interest you can make on CNY denominations is just extra.
Oh, and while there go spend a day or two decompressing at the Silvermine Beach Hotel... You'll feel much better!
Or you could just get foreign currency certificates from Everbank...FDIC insurance (denominated in U.S. dollars, though) is an added bonus.
you saying you can get a 15 percent return there? Wow.
