Of course, when I criticize Wal-Mart or Home Depot for deliberately destroying businesses and then raising prices, or express views that are not totally libertarian, or argue that societies have an interest in preserving small towns, you might be at a disadvantage in the argument (should you pursue it).

Because I live in a small town and drive to the next small town to shop at Wal-Mart since food prices are cheaper, or because small businesses with less than 4 or 5 employees can't offer the kinds of retirement benefits like Wal-Mart or other such community killers after a life time of loyal service? You're right, I better not take it up with you.

I know very little about bond funds, but I believe some pay out some type of monthly, quarterly, or semi-annual income. With the 30 year bond over six percent, I'd like to know where you're going to find a CD which will pay a person 6% on a quarterly or 6 month basis. I'm not saying there aren't any. I just don't know of any.

I think some income funds invest in a mix of bonds and stocks with high dividend pay outs. Ideal for a person looking for a bit better income generator than a short-term CD.

I think she should put some of the money in a good quality growth fund, personally, especially if she manages to live another 20 years.
