while not in your 7 figure group i continue to like begbx, european bonds, in large part german gov't. has certainly offered me downside protection as the dollar has slid and may offer more upside with further rate cuts, even though the payout is in the high 4's percent wise. i was heavily into vwesx, investment grade u.s. corporates, but the possibilties of downgrades in that category worries me and i sold out; the extra premium over treasuries just didn't justify the risk for me.

money mkt. accts. seem to me to hardly be acceptable as 'cash'. god knows where, or in what kind of weird paper, these funds are. how much is in pge and edison? seems the greatest risk for us may be in those we have given our cash to to protect once we began insulating our profits and ourselves from crashing equities.

that said i have just gone 27% back into osx positions - catching the 2 day selloff this week. less of a gamble, i think, than anything else out there. have about an equal amnt. in gold stocks. don

<Brokered CD's>

Friday I did just that with my SEP-IRA. Thought my broker would think I was crazy. Told him I wanted to make sure money was insured by FDIC, because the "insurance" brokerage firms provide is worthless in a major market meltdown.

LOL - He said "Smart move. We're all doing it."
