Investment ideas in the new economy

It has been a while since I posted anything on the blog. I have thinking about how to play the new economic situation and have some thoughts on asset allocation. The fundamental assumption is that the economy will not recover until the end of 2010 and the risk of devaluation of the dollar is high. My first take of asset allocation is below

- Gold and Foreign Currency - 20%
- Domestic Stocks (that you are willing to hold until 2015) - 25%
- Foreign stocks (weighted more towards stabler emerging markets) - 25%
- $$$ - 20%
- Alternate investments - 10% (this could include real estate, private equity, etc.)
