2009                            Q:      What should savers do now if they hold cash in their bank
    accounts in excess of $100,000, given that the FDIC insured
    limits were lifted only temporarily last year?

    A:        Last year, the government increased the amount of FDIC insurance
    coverage from $100,000 to $250,000. That increase was originally set to
    expire at the end of 2009. However, the increase in coverage has been
    extended through December 31, 2013.

    On January 1, 2014, the standard insurance amount will return to
    $100,000 per depositor for all account categories except IRAs and certain
    other retirement accounts, which will remain at $250,000 per depositor.

                                       December 4, 2009... Bloomberg news says pension funds are
    increasing allocations of investment-grade debt to the highest level
    since the 1970s, when federal rules created a “bias” toward equities, as
    the U.S. mandates that plans set targets to fully fund worker obligations.
