I'm a capitalist through and through, as SD will tell you. So I'm doing the PM thing right now, incase this current financial 'blip' isn't the big one we're expecting. However, if it is, and other people have just this, they'll be screwed.
First and foremost, get yourself safe, secure, skilled, and sensible. After that's sorted, then check profits and capital gains.
