THE CONTRARIAN Forget Running To Cash David Dreman, Forbes Magazine, 11.26.01, 12:00 AM ET Don't allow your portfolio to be dominated by fixed income. You will be sorry. It never seems to change. Investors--amateurs and professionals alike--raised cash as the market fell sharply this year, and especially following the horrendous events of Sept. 11. The market, while still wobbly, has recovered its losses since the terrorist attacks. Lots of investors, though, continue to shun equities for the safety of money market funds, short-term bonds and other cash-like instruments. Bad enough that the paltry annual yields on some of these things lag or do little better than inflation. Bank money funds, for instance, stood at a miserly 2.4% in early November. forbes.com
