Protection may mean moving a big chunk of assets into CD's (now @ 6.76%) Pretty boring when you think about it but when you think about the market risk and volatility and the prospects of maybe going back to a day job it feels pretty good. Cosmo, thanks for saying this because it demonstrates why interest rates are important. So often we hear, "Who gives a crap about the 30 yr. bond?" 6% vs. 300% is a no-brainer! I guess the point is that after several years of 300% one's thoughts turn to "how do I keep it"? There does come a time in which someone in stocks says 6% sounds pretty good vs. -25% on a million bucks. Just ramblin' when I oughta be workin' D.H.
