I put more details up on my blog... http://www.dinksfinance.com/2007/04/investing-our-tax-return-in-erh.html Thanks again for blogging about stocks, I've found a couple of good picks from your site.

Thanks again for blogging about stocks, I’ve found a couple of good picks from your site. While I’m on the topic, how do you pick stocks anyways?

I agree that inflation has been running higher than CPI and will likely remain high, so that a pure "fixed income" portfolio wouldn't do well. On the floating rate loan funds, the ones I'm looking at are senior debentures that are a little safer. But of course there are lots of nooks and crannies I know nothing about. Care to share from you past life? Thc,

Then, a bunch of them blew up early in this decade after too many defaults. These days I believe retirees are too heavily invested in fixed income. Retirement can easily last 30-40 years and you better maintain a significant exposure to equities if you expect your money to last.
