  1. I am the living (age 85) proof of these comments. Our investment pool is down by fifty percent and we now have it all in certificates of deposit.No other place is safe. As a consequence, our income tax is a small fraction of what it was several years ago, without the slightest chance of increasing. We may be typical.

  2. The greed to spend ‘stimulus’ funds trumps property rights in Honolulu, Hawaii.

  3. richard, with the rate of inflation, CD’s are the equilivant of being in a can buried in the back yard. If you do not have investments that you feel safe putting it into (they are out there, but not room to go into it here), at least convert it into things that will retain value. The most obvious and easiest would be precious metals, but there are plenty of others, Scotch whiskey, dry goods, shares in livestock, etc... etc.. at least this way you will still have the same amount of money (in terms of value) when you are ready to use it.
