Hi Scott, Remember that AIM's Cash Reserve is earning at a money market rate of 4+% compared to Mr. Buynhold's 2.1% average yield (assuming he earns what Value Line's average is).

Also, since many stocks have only moderate or NO dividend, the MMF yield is actually quite generous. In a flat market, AIM's cash kicks butt!!

Depending on the volatility of the equity in question or the overall portfolio, you could take 1/3 to 1/2 of the total reserves and put it into something with a higher yield. Or stagger it 1/3 long bond fund, 1/3 ST bond fund, 1/3 MMF.

Hope this helps, Tom
