Having spent decades avoiding holding cash other than for short periods while getting ready to do something else, it's disconcerting and ironic that I find myself now with a wallop of the stuff. Still, it's better than owing a double walloped amount of it with depreciating assets. Rumour has it I can buy a couple of houses in Riverside and along Highway 15, and similar places for the same as one would have cost a couple of years ago. With 30 year loans at low interest rates and rents perhaps now covering mortgages it might be nearing time for a double leveraged up quadruple property buy. Or time to just wait around some more to see what will happen for a Merry Xmas and how things defrost in March. California has yet to balance their budgets with impoverished citizens less inclined than a couple of years ago to look kindly on high and increasing property taxes. Even The Terminator can't work miracles as in the movies where any fantasy can come true and usually does. Mqurice
