Cash Management

[Rembert]

I think cash is the best cash management option. Depending on your broker you receive interest for your cash position.

Of course in this environment where central banks have pushed interest rates close to zero one gets next to nothing. Before 2008 I remember getting similar interest rates as a standard savings account with a bank for my EUR cash position.

One could try and pick the best currency but that's another thing.

I recall when interest paid on savings was over 10% in the early 80s. Many people cannot imagine suchs returns on simple savings.

The highly leveraged REITS offer nice dividends. NLY is down, however, (1.04%) today. Such a vheicle is not insured by the federal government. It comes with risk.
