Poll:Percent of your cash+invested assets in cash?

And I always thought the term "the smell of money" was a little less literal. Maybe not.

Actually, I just smelled a bunch of Canadian cash and it does smell slightly sweat, not unlike maple syrup. Go figure.

I'm surprised you hadn't heard of that. I can definitely smell a vaguely maple-like aroma in a new Canadian bill.

Did you mean to say "of sweat"? That I can believe. At least plastic bills shouldn't absorb sweat and whatever else folks have on their hands.

I still have a plastic $5 Australian note from our visit there in 1997. I was so impressed that I decided to hang onto a souvenir.

You are right, thanks. , I meant sweet. They don't absorb sweat to my knowledge. They don't melt in regular (even Arizona) heat. These bills really are superior. Hopefully they get wider adoption.

I'm 25% in cash. Partly in response to Warren Buffet's advice during 2014, I kept value in low-interest cash rather than bonds. Warren's prediction that bond interest rates would eventually head up eventually came true, though it took longer than expected.

I plan to start moving value from cash accounts into bonds over the next few months.

Still waiting for that to happen in Euros ..
