My CDs have gone Islamic!". Short yields have collapsed and current retirees with rollovers coming due wonder whether to reach for yield, and if so, how to do this safely. Recall how not long ago auction rate securities blew up. I don't personally know anyone who got burned by those, but it garnered a lot of press and so seniors are rightfully gunshy about getting fancy.<br /><br />Some options I see and would be interested in comment about--<br />1) go long but stay safe-- 30yr treasury is still in the high 4s I believe.<br />2) take the credit risk but stay short-- low duration junk bonds, mortgage debt, etc.<br />3) high dividend stocks-- like megatelcos paying over 6%<br />4) foreign debt-- follow a Japanese style carry trade<br />5) wait it out-- park in savings and buy back CDs later this year at much better rates<br /><br />Also any red flag on California munis?dunkelblaunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356923.post-78651099594456027182010-02-25T10:21:24.345-08:002010-02-25T10:21:24.345-08:00dunkelblau: Thanks for your comment.

I recognize you as the inspiration behind my post: <a href="http://pfstock.blogspot.com/2010/01/do-you-need-60x-annual-expenses-to.html" rel="nofollow">Do You Need 60X Annual Expenses to Retire Early?</a><br /><br />Actually, I don't have a handle on NetworthIQ. You seem to have a lot of good ideas for posts. I haven't studied the World Wealth Report data. But if you have some good insights on this, you could consider writing a guest post for PFStock. If you are interested, please send me an Email.<br /><br />Your poll idea is good one. But the way that Blogger is setup, it doesn't allow readers to add answers. Unfortunately, "your worst financial nightmare" would not fit into nice, neat categories in the same way that net worth or income do.<br /><br />By the way, have you posted a comment for the post <a href="http://pfstock.blogspot.com/2009/04/how-much-do-you-make.html" rel="nofollow">How Much Do You Make?</a> As always, anonymous comments are welcome.pfstockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16235204038486228085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32356923.post-47311031140953300212010-02-24T12:44:05.003-08:002010-02-24T12:44:05.003-08:00So what's your handle on NetworthIQ?
If you...So what's your handle on NetworthIQ?<br />If you're looking for ideas, since your site seems to attract the high end, how about a deconstruction of the annual world wealth report that is put out by Merrill/CapGemini?<br />Also a poll on "your worst financial nightmare" might be interesting.dunkelblaunoreply@blogger.com
