Paul, I agree with you!
I came from hard working people who put me through college and I wound up with a business degree. I was aware that my father had been withholding and buying saving bonds from the time he was in the navy to the time he retired from the post office. (46 years)
I was the kid who always had a way he could do better with his money. He never listen to me. When he was ill I got the phone call to meet him at the bank as I was no longer living at home as I had my own family. I met my father at the bank and he says to me "if any happens to there are some things you need to know." With that we went in to the lock box room and he opens it. There were cigar box's full of saving bonds. Then he said this is to take care of your mother.
His Investment strategy worked just find. Thanks Dad!!!
