Just MHO and many would argue against me.

SAFEST - Germany I agree, but low hassle fully managed deals hard to find

MOROCCO - I'm a safety freak, yet I did invest in a Government Plan Azure development here as the investment potential was great enough to outweigh the worry

The reason I avoided Spain and Portugal is because all the 'meat' had gone as the booms there were mature so I could'nt see the point in investing as the yield against capital introduced makes the returns lower than one could get by simply sticking the money in a Bank account.

The only possible investment case that could be argued is that you 'might' get a spurt of meaty capital growth well above the yield percentage on a cash account, but thats a big 'might'.

I felt it better to invest just accross the sea in Morocco with a project that was Government backed, that had a low capital outlay yet big potential in view of the massive amount of onsite facilities to include the biggest most modern marina in the Med.
