SC, IMHO - WRONG! If you invest in CDs at say 3.5% and the rate of inflation is say 4%, you are losing money at the rate of 1/2%. You at least have to find an instrument that 'keeps' pace with inflation. It is true that you can select an instrument that doesn't have the performance of a DELL, but as long as you are doing the investment analysis, why not 'challenge' yourself to garner the maximum gains for your investment? I suppose that one could evaluate all of the best stocks, and then intentionally select an 'underperformer', but isn't that a little like saying, "Now there's a 'One Way Street', so I will go against the flow of traffic". Aren't you gonna' get killed? I keep reminding myself that some of the people here are investing for the challenge of maximizing their % gain as a number, and the $ are only secondary. Kind of like trying to get the maximum score in a Scrabble game. I'm not sure 'greed' is the appropriate word. Regards, Ken
