投资捷径与陷阱6.jpg
With things the way they are, it's tempting 1 to simply opt 2 out altogether. Fear of financial-system failure, the uncertain nature of the stock market and just a sense of foreboding have people thinking that it's smarter to keep their money in the backyard, a mattress 3 or an empty can.But it really isn't. The bank-insurance system works for holdings under $250, 000. I know because my bank once failed , and the transfer of assets was seamless. So, at least keep your cash in certificates of deposit earning some sort of return. An overabundance of fear and caution can cost you money; don 't let that happen to you.
考虑到现在的形势,人们可能很容易会想干脆什么也不投了。对金融体系失灵的担心,股市不确定的本性,甚至只是一种不祥之感,这些都会让人们认为把钱放在后院、床垫或空罐子里要更明智一些。不过这却是大错特错了。银行保险体系对低于25万美元的资产是能起作用的。我知道这点,因为我工作的银行倒闭了,而资产却实现了“无缝”转移。因此,至少把现金放到定存单中还能获得一些收益。过于小心谨慎或担心害怕会让你的金钱受到损失,不要让这点发生在你的身上。
Don't Chase Returns
