I popped into my local Wetherspoons for a pint, half way down i put a beermat on top and nipped to the loo.... when i came back, the glass was empty, they had the cheek to put the beermat back. Rejoice! Someone just slightly improved your overall cancer risk profile. As drinking is associated with risk of cancer just as smoking is (among others, such as red meat), but the vast majority of people don't know it. I hope you have a nasty cold or something that you passed on to the miscreant.

martin44 I think they meant to address you there. It can't possibly be me, as I'm too stingy to ever be wanting to spend anything in drinks (though I did when I was young), and for any ailments related to drinks sharing I could only be on the receiving end, such as when in passing I'd pick up a half-full glass or bottle left stale outside a pub or by the bus stop and drink it - but not the originating end. To say nothing about half-smoked cigarettes, I think you'd prefer to be spared all the gory details. I bet if one of my ex co-workers were here he could identify me - not that I believe any of them is into P2P. So I'm in a safe space! With inflation this high, soon everyone's gonna be like me!

So what to do with your savings ? That seems like a good topic for another thread.

For example savings accounts and bonds, which were considered low risk, are now high risk with a certainty of losing a fair percentage of the value of our capital every year.

Risk requires uncertainty.

Risk requires uncertainty. It sure does, and some of the uncertainty lies in not knowing how high the inflation will go, or how long it will last.

I have changed the thread title to update it and added Michael's suggestion. I made a few changes during the past 9 months, selling some ETFs and firstly investing in 2 REITs, Supermarket and Tritax. To start with Tritax did well, gaining over 10% but Amazon saying they had expanded too fast frightened the professionals and it is now showing a loss as it trades on a discount. The Supermarket REIT began slowly but is now well up. More recently I invested in Ruffer which has performed well in previous downturns together with a gold ETF and a small investment in Scottish Mortgage which had halved in price this year, all those have gone up a small amount since purchase.

NEE has done well in the USA gently rising and ADBE seems on the way back up. Just a couple worth looking at, neither need to grow fast to improve cash flow just keep doing what they do. I'm sitting on my hands as I expect a lot of what fell down in September to come back I just cashed out some risky holdings.

Not that I hold many individual shares but Shell was an excellent punt at a tenner, as usual wish I'd bought more. Unfortunately it's the only strong performer across all my investments. Bonds have been a total disaster , cash is getting better but still poor returns, even my gold miners is negative. I think the next few years may be challenging to gain a decent return .
