If you go into Cash where do you guys put it?

Quote from daddyeaux:

anything but the us dollar


Be wary of 'one-way' forex bets, euro official warns. Jean-Claude Juncker of Luxembourg, who heads a group of finance ministers from the nations that participate in the European single currency, said ministers and bankers took note of remarks by Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson that a stronger dollar is in the interests of the United States.
 
during the great despression, gold (and expecially gold mining stocks) did very well.

You can get gold mining stock ETDs (like XAU) and also funds.
 
TreasuryDirect... purchase and hold 3-Month US T-Bills electronically. The safest and most liquid cash investment vehicle available imo...
 
Quote from BA736:

Im very nervous about the economy right now, and am not advanced enough to short. I was thinking of liquidating some funds and stocks and sit in cash for a while and see what happenes.

Im trying to figure out the best place to put the money since from what I was told even the money markets were affected by the MBS's. Is this true? Also how would a bond fund be right now, and if so what kind.

Im thinking the job market weakens causing further weakaning of the housing market causing more job losses. Then confidence will be shot, both consumer and institutional money managers.

I have two emerging market funds and an international large cap index fund. Im thinking of getting rid of one of the EM funds.

Ok if I liquidate stocks its between (not my picks) TWX, LOW, CSCO any ideas on which one to get rid of first?

How do people think about yhoo medium term, takeover?


Buy some GOLDBARS and wrap them up nicely and bury them under a flower bed. That is your best hedge against economy. Don't forget to Mark it with a stone etc.
