Sunday's Wall Street Journal Online writes "Keeping Savings Safe From Inflation", which suggests some strategies for protecting cash from erosion. Advisor's claims, however, that "safe investments are risky" is a little much, though. We agree with one lone advisor's advice to "grin and bear it". The Journal says, "Still, investors can take some simple steps to improve their returns, such as shopping around for higher-yielding CDs and money funds and, in some cases, by switching to tax-exempt money funds from taxable ones. Some savers may want to buy bonds with returns linked to inflation, although the additional yield over the inflation rate is limited or none."
