In the last year, we have lost 50% of the value of our savings due to the fall in value of the Icelandic kronur. If ktsp had not decided to convert what was left of it (the 50%) into USD and EUR last week, we would have lost damn near all of it, given what the live market exchange rates are right now (and what the Icelandic government refuses to make public). So we're lucky to get away with what we have. Luckily, we do not invest in US stocks.... I haven't lost any money in my CD's and other FDIC-insured accounts, thank god.
