Hi,

First post. Read the book, loved it. It could have been me who wrote it, it was like reading a biography, down to wanting to free myself from work so I could write screenplays (wrote two already) Made my first mil at 28, I'm now 32. Did not sell my business yet.

My situation is this. All my money is in CASH.

In the book MJ DeMarco talks about making 6%-8% out of "safe and liquid" papers, municipal bonds etc.

What is he talking about?

I look at the offerings on TDAmeritrade website, I see much lower numbers and on top of that, states like CA and others may bankrupt at any moment. Are these papers really safe?

I'm desperately looking for that "safe 6% a year" investment but I just can't find it! Where is all YOUR money? I'm not asking for 15%. Not even 8%. Just give me 6%.... (net of fees) really. But WHERE?

Is this something you would buy:

Order Period* 09/06-09/12
Coupon* 5.00%-8.50%
Issuer Goldman Sachs Callable Step-Up Notes (Negative Outlook)
Moody's/S&P Rating* A1/A
Maturity* 15 Years
Callable Yes
Minimum Investment* $5,000.00
Payment Frequency* Semi-Annual


Please help !

Thank you!
