I dunno, there are so many factors that go into it it's really personal to you and your situation. I don't mean to be wishy-washy, but it's true. I'm really risk averse so right now I'm holding a higher percentage of cash hedged overseas (in a recession cash is king) than I normally would. CDs (as mentioned in that last link) are a great way to do that. Another small way is using that free financing that's available now. Buy something this Christmas and put the money into a 5% CD a year before you have to pay. Great deal cause you make 5% before you have to give up the money (this, BTW, is essentially Dell's business model). And bonds are a BIG area. If you're thinking about them I suggest you read Bill Gross' investor letters to get the skinny on them. He's probably the best bond investor in the world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:185939 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
