Full Time Traders Where do you Put Cash?

[nassau]

come to Nassau, the dollar is par to the usd.
one month fixed deposit is from 3.25 to 3.75, one year 5-5.50
Mortgages here are 9.95 percent or higher.
Four year money can yield you 7-8 percent.

I use to buy us t-bills and place them in the trading account and play off the security. You lose a few points 98 percent, no big deal as you never use all of the funds.
One could purchase an instrument make a few extra points over the year and still have the majority of the funds to use.

Small private mortgages 50-55 percent of value are also pretty safe and give a better than normal roi.

Municipal bonds, state bonds.
in Nassau a few year back when the 2nd PI bridge was being built the return was above par. I am researching now some of the infrastructure in the US like roads, bridges, canals etc to compare.

Also you will find some of the Switz Banks offer approx. 2-3 points higher than the present US. I received 8 precent on 3 yrs money and 10 percent on 5 when Nassau and the US were less.

A littel dd will go a long way.

Take 50% of cash put in government issues. 50% back into your trading program. (if you are a believer)

IMHO

I agree with the Govt. backed issues... I would also submit convert some cash to Gold & Silver - However there is a bit of a wait right now


Take Care

Everbank has me over 3% yield a year. You have to figuer out what "Basket you want". You have to research and not be a dumb ass, just taking advice.

Korona yield 12% should have told 'Those Investors" something. UMMMMM RISK!!!!!!!!


Besides, the money that is stashed in Everbank is for "protection of Capital". Not looking to yield 400%

I should have done a poll. Think the most votes are for Everbank.

OMG... That is soooo true!

Quote from short&naked:

I agree with you that the pricing of gov't bonds is very inefficent, however, that doesn't mean that corporate bonds are any safer. In fact, as has been seen if corporations fail they get government money, so you might as well invest in treasuries.

Also if nationalization continues at this pace, there will be no difference between gov't and corp bonds-- it will all be Soviet Union junk debt level. LOL.

Glad you asked this question. Didn't they require government capital to keep them afloat?

Quote from Mike805:

ING at 2.4% at the moment.

Does anyone know if ING is as safe as they claim, and, if there are any alternatives?

Thanks in advance.
