When the Fed's "no taper" surprise sent stocks soaring to new all-time highs, it also sent bond yields plunging and bond prices soaring, as traders scrambled to cover short positions.
In fact, Treasury bonds had their biggest daily price gain in more than two years on Wednesday, Sept. 18, the day the Fed let the air out of the taper expectations. And while a drift lower in long-term interest rates (i.e., bond yields) could continue for a bit longer, there is no doubt that over the course of the next year, interest rates will rise.
So here's the smartest thing you can do right now:
Take advantage of the rally in bonds by selling bonds... and any of the "bond proxies" listed below, including utilities. Then, move the proceeds into one of the four investments I'm about to show you.
They'll give you much better long-term growth potential. And they'll send you a ton of cash, too - up to $850 a month, depending on how much money you put in.

Ben Bernanke is the don of the greatest criminal enterprise in the world.
And yesterday his made monsters, the Five Families, lined up to kiss his ring, again.
By not "tapering" or reducing the $85 billion a month ($45 billion in Treasuries and $40 billion in agency mortgage-backed securities) the Fed is buying from banks, the Fed is saying to its hit men, "We are family, and as long as Johnny Law is coming after you, we've got your back."
The "legal and litigation costs" (that means lawyers and fines) racked up by America's Five Families since the credit crisis gently (not) ushered in the Great Recession is over $103 billion, by some estimates. That doesn't include actual losses from related activities.
The Five Families, according to the Federal Reserve, are big, very big bosses in their territories, which means America and a good part of the world.
Let's name names... and then I'll tell you the REAL reason the Fed didn't taper yesterday
