Russ or Anyone. I am going to have 3 surgeries this Spring/Summer (Heart Related). Want to transfer funds to the safest/highest yielding Fixed Rate investment I/you can find until September or so, assuming they don't kill me in the process. Any suggestions? All the funds are in a traditional IRA. And, I need to do this on-line. First surgery is mid May, second in mid-June and the biggie in Mid-July. I will be hospitalized or in re-hab center for several weeks afterwards. I need at least a 90 day investment. I would appreciate all suggestions. Thanks for all your help.

'What they may not have considered is just how unstable the irrigation channels are for this boom. Take your pick on which breaks first, Joe Ultra Light Sixpack and his/her overdependence on housing to get by, China’s maladjusted currency pegging and Dollar recycling, or even a normal correction in the markets. Or how about all three nearly at once?'

Currency crisis versus either a breakdown in the dollar or a huge move back above 90 looms huge as either would be bad for the stock market near term. Plus the longer this inversion continues the worse it is for financial institutions worldwide leading to a credit crunch eventually when combined with the huge losses via foreclosures in the next 18-24 months..

I doubt the housing bust and Joe6pack in and of itself is as big a factor as many think it is.. Certainly anyone should respect what the stock market is telling them..
