Re: O/T Looking for \"under the mattress\" type investment
If you actually want to put it under the mattress, then buy gold. silver is too bulky. With a 10-20 year horizon you probably won't be tearing it up but it will keep up with or outpace inflation.
If you actually want to invest and you don't need liquidity, you should be putting the maximum in to tax defferred accounts allocating as much as you can to small cap stocks with a healthy portion in emerging markets. Then, and this is important- never check to see how its doing. Any investment specialist can help you with this. do some research and bite the bullet with the paperwork.
If you want to be really risky then bankroll me [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img].
