Don't forget as rates fall so do money market rates so if there's 4% inflation you could actually lose money letting it sit in a money market account by the time the Fed gets through cutting.

That is a strong case for owning stocks. Does that mean one should buy technology with that argument?
I would think that one should be buying the money makers and not the ones using money like NT or LU. Having a PE that makes them better alternatives to money market funds.
Believe it or not, I now consider LU, NT more defensive in nature. If the market tanks, these ones will not go down as much since they have never really recovered. I doubt they will get much a rebound in a good market.

If the Naz was to move up, you are better off with the QQQs or the PC sector.

American Spirit: The thread master here doesn't want me posting unless I use charts. I say free all the threads but maybe I'll abandon this one soon. If so sayonara.

No, I asked you to follow the guidelines of this thread nicely via Pmail. In particular in your case, guideline number one. If you are not going to provide supportive reasons/analysis with your posts please use another forum to express yourself.

LG

Gee, I've bot some mortgage backed inverse floaters tied to Libor and every time rates drop, the interest rate on those rises. One is paying me 19 1/4% interest and the other 18 1/2% monthly. Of course the risk with those is if rates rise.
Get more creative, there's more out there than stocks or a money market.
