[quote=Anonymous]My mom in 1995 got 200k pay out and we ended up buying 10k bonds maturing over next 20 years. She was afraid to do stock market all at once as newly retired. Plan was for her to take all interest payments to live off and roll bond maturities into a diversified stock fund. She died 2005 and her stock broker actually said had highest return over the decade of his clients. Little Luck Locked in bonds when rates were high. And when market crash in 2000 to 2002 she was dollar cost averaging back in. But BIG difference she could buy 9 percent 10 year IBM and GE bonds back then. Today those bonds pay 3 percent tops!
