They can, however, earn a little while serving another purpose such as being fairly liquid or balancing a portfolio. This roundup of safe investments explains their pros and cons to help you determine which investments best fit your needs. For even more detailed information, you may want to consult a financial advisor.-

@Ted & Old_Skeet: Are both of you sure that somewhere in your portfolios a mutual fund does hold some tips # 7 ?

@Derf, I though about the very same that you bring up ... and, I guess indirectly I do through owning item #10 which is a bond fund. By having a good number of income generating positions within my portfolio I suspect that I do own most of the items noted in the article plus a few others as my commodity strategy fund has a yield of better than 10% and my real estate income fund has a nice yield of about 4.0%. Granted, they have more risk; but, they also generate a higher income stream. And, they don't offer protection of principal in the same way the items covered in the article do.
