For those who like to look at alternative investments outside of the traditional stocks, bonds and cash asset classes, here is an interesting value suggestion - Bordeaux red wine!
The price of fine wines on the Liv-ex wine exchange has fallen steadily since early this year, and now sits over 30% below its mid-2011 high (see chart below).

2009 and 2010 Red Bordeaux - 10/10! |

So my non-stock market recommendation of the day: Go stock up on affordable 2009 and 2010 French red Bordeaux vintages, as they still represent good value given the slowing growth in demand from the likes of the Chinese consumer.
For those looking to buy a good Bordeaux Superieur or even a Clairet (a type of Rosé), I would point you to a wine grower whose wine I have tasted and bought in the recent past, that of Chateau Fontcaille Bellevue.
This chateau is owned by royal photographer Anwar Hussein and his charming wife Caroline, and produces some very good Bordeaux Superieur reds and an excellent Clairet, perfect for drinking before dinner or with fish or chicken dishes.

Good luck with your investing,
