INVEST IN ART: In the current climate where keeping money in a bank no longer seems like a safe bet, buying a contemporary painting suddenly seems like the smart thing to do. You actually get something that no one else owns, you can see what you have and it never stops being a painting. The contemporary artists work suits this age. Most importantly owning a contemporary painting means you get to enjoy your wealth every day. It's a solid investment, in something you can see and show to others. Arguable also far more interesting than gold, a certainly more interesting than numbers on a bank balance that could vanish tomorrow when the bank goes bust.
