There is a temporary "cash flow" benefit, but that will be outweighed a year or two from now when we have an inflation rate that will far exceed Jimmy Carter's 13%.

I've got the cash now, that's why I asked. I'm just curious as to people's opinions, not looking for hard core investment advice.
Some of my co-workers are buying gold. Both hard bullion and in certificate form.
I'm studyng up on that since I know nothing about it.
Well, in that case, gold or other commodities aren't a bad idea. I just did a google search, and it came up with this MSN Money article. Take it for what it's worth, I guess.
