How To Protect Yourself Financially In Uncertain Times
Last month this column offered up my now traditional
"goodbye" to one year and "hello" to the next.
As one sagacious reader rightly pointed out, I somehow managed to
avoid making any firm predictions that might later be used in
evidence against me. However the summary of my words might be: not
such a bad year for many; strong signs of a recovery in certain
places; people remain concerned about the future.
Since that column appeared, certain pieces in the complex jigsaw
that makes up the global financial world have become even more
difficult to place. Prices on global exchanges have been gyrating
wildly. Ongoing problems in the UK and the continuing recession in
the eurozone have resulted in several high profile companies going
to the wall. Anyone hoping for a smoother financial ride in 2015 is
likely to be in for a disappointment.
