[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With savings accounts getting 4-5% (or will soon), is anyone taking money out of stocks and putting it into high interest savings accounts? Or CDs? Our stocks aren't making much (3.3%), plus they are obviously more risky. Is this a dumb thought? DH and I are amazed at how much in interest we're making on our savings accounts monthly. [/quote] You have to think of stocks as a long haul investment--they will tend to overperform cash by far. Cash equivalents don't even keep up with inflation (that's why there are high interest rates, the fed has been increasing them to tame inflation, but they still lag). So, no, I keep the stock positions and cash positions that I've determined are right for my asset allocation without regard to current earnings or current interest rates. [/quote]
