just came into a large chunk of cash and would like to get it working for me, not just sitting on the sidelines. Should I buy a couple of spec houses in Carmel Valley?
Have you read “Crash Proof” by Peter Schiff yet? I just finished it and he paints a pretty compelling case for a severe collapse of the dollar.
If I had some cash sitting around I would definitely park a good chunk of it in the above two funds as a hedge against inflation. A nice perk of the Rodgers fund, whenever you see rising prices at the pump, you know that is money in the bank for you!
A word of warning, I did pick up a pretty anti-goverment tone from the book and Mr. Schiff’s father is currently in jail as a tax protester, so there is some bias there that colors his analysis.
