no Ron.. what im saying is those 'unforeseen circumstances' which 'will always exist and continually progress in occurrence' are more likely to occur now as opposed to before 9/11 and equities in large part are not reflecting that reality. There was much said about the 'peace dividend' which benefited equities in the 90's, wheres the 'war-time' risk discount during times of uncertainty? No fishing for me, unless you mean feeding the fish on the NAZ. Israel

There are times that stashing cash in money mart and just going fishing is not a bad idea. I think all who obeyed Peter Lynch and sold nothing after April 2000 wish that they had just plain got out. If one works at it one can find safe bonds and preferred stock that can give a yield of 7% a year. Reits would have been a fine choice but i now think REITS are priced too high as so much money looking for yield have driven their price way up. But anyone who simply sold everything in April 2000 and just put them in REITS have in that time had a super return on their money while much of all else were diving. The market now is at this point in time and high risk area. Find a way to build a 7% portfolio at this time isn't a bad idea. these are 2 i stashed money for a year, that were rel nice. I am NOT holding them now. They are both prefered stocks. finance.yahoo.com average yield between them about 8%.
