Gerry is teaching me how to become the “Mr. Yes Man.”<\/p>\n Key is to remove from your life those things you have little control over.<\/p>\n There is no investment strategy you can put “on eternity hold” and bike to Alaska for the summer. But there are elements:<\/p>\n 1. Bonds. I like muni bonds because of the horrid taxes in New York.<\/p>\n 2. Bond funds. They use a little leverage to juice the returns.<\/p>\n 3. High yielders like NLY, ANH and AGNC. Testimony: they’ve held up really well in recent days, compared with “high-flyers” like Google.<\/p>\n 4. Cash in bank CDs. You won’t get rich. But you will have peace of mind.<\/p>\n Profitable business. <\/span><\/strong>The estate tax is coming back with vengeance. It will probably be 55% next year. To avoid paying their share, rich people buy life insurance. $120,000 a year will give their estate\u00a0 $10 million when they and their wive die. The first two years of premium are almost all commission to the agent selling the policy.<\/p>\n You don’t have to sell too many policies each year to make a seriously handsome living.<\/p>\n Nice scanner. <\/strong>Michael is getting married next weekend. I have to scan baby pictures for a wedding “slide show.”After researching extensively, I bought this fabulous $99 Epson scanner on-line from Best Buy.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.technologyinvestor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/08\/Gerryinalps.jpg\" "\\"Gerryinalps\\"")
