“The only paper investments that can be wise decisions are stocks and to a lesser extent, corporate bonds—not government bonds. With the economic turmoil occurring, many companies will outlast governments so corporate bonds in general can be a more secure investment. Both stocks and corporate bonds can provide cash flow income through interest and dividends. In the case of stocks, they can also appreciate in value over time in the event you want to sell. GIC’s/CD’s, government bonds, mutual funds, and retirement funds are all doomed to lose money over time.”

So one must never allow fear to develop and build up without having control over it, because if you don’t you won’t be able to achieve your objective or save your life. “Consider”
