The current financial crisis is just that - a crisis. But it is only a crisis for the small investor. There seem no safe havens for the smaller investor and the current inflation/deflation process will damage all but the largest banks and institutional investors. Many with their wealth in property will see that wealth eroded as the current property crash continues, and those who are leveraged will inevitably lose everything.

Property values will continue to decline through 2009 through 2011, when the effects of the current inflation to the money supply will begin in earnest. The large investment houses, banks and property funds have shown no inclination to protect small investors.

So - how to take advantage of the current deflation in real estate values and protect one's wealth during the inflationary period? We believe a new world order is coming, with the possible introduction of a new world currency when the pound, euro and dollar inevitably crash.

Real estate investments have traditionally been a long-term hedge against inflation and erosion of wealth, but the institutional investment houses are no longer to be trusted. Too many of them are now government owned in all but name.

We propose a new approach - which we choose to call co-operative investment or "social capitalism." To learn more about protecting your wealth, go here - Making money from the financial crisis.
