Sino Agro Food Inc (fka SIAF)

I'm pretty sure this company as an investment is pretty much dead anyways

There is high risk, that's for sure; a lot of money to be gained, or lost here... I'm struggling to see the outcome for us shareholders - will likely hold on to a large chunk of my shares, maybe sell some on possible good news and buy some if it goes further down, but I don't really have any trading skills so I'm not happy with that either

Regarding currencies; China did have a lot of cash in 2008, but now they too have debt. They do have a lot of gold though, so they might choose to back up their currency with gold. Also they are working with the petro-yuan to replace the USD which might lead to a strong yuan (if so, then that should work in our favour).

Might be long-term though, and might have major issues that counters the benefit (if it turns out that way)

Speaking of government bonds. That's probably where you wanna place your money in a crisis.

Don't think I would dare to hold US bonds, but if interest rates go down then bonds might be a good option (at least in countries with little debt). If countries need to increase rates to fight inflation, then we might see bonds as "certificates of confiscation" again
