Penny-wise predicament: safety-minded investing might pay off now but be costly in the long haul

Article Abstract:

Most investors seeking to preserve their capital through cash instruments should worry more about the erosion of purchasing power and therefore invest in stocks and bonds. A turbulent market is intimidating, but retreating to cash often means lost opportunity as the market improves while money is locked into lower returns. The proper investment mix for the individual's or family's needs is the paramount source of good performance, with particular stocks, bonds, or instruments making fairly marginal differences.
