I don't know yet - still working on the problem. A few ideas below. Cash (actual stuff you can hold in your hand, not the plastic stuff) in small denominations. A few thousand in 10's and 20's offers a lot of flexibility to deal with short term issues. US treasury bills. Dividend paying stocks, especially ones without a lot of global exposure. Not sure yet, but utilities might be good, but I haven't figured out the impact of interest rates which complicate that problem. I'm not a fan of gold. It's hard to hold, harder to spend, but if currency valuations fluctuate wildly, a bit might be helpful, but only the stuff you can hold in your hand - a gold fund might not help much, but that's a completely different discussion that I'm not qualified to offer a good opinion on.
