...Dubbed "murderabilia" by Andy Kahan, director of the Houston-based Mayor's Crime Victims Office, the sale of what many consider grotesque items is already banned in five states - Texas, California, New Jersey, Michigan and Utah - thanks in great part to Kahan's lobbying efforts.

...Kahan recommends preferred shares (yielding 6% to 8%) of bank companies, including Fleet Financial and HSBC, and of real estate investment trusts, including Vornado Realty and Health Care Properties. He likes junk-bond mutual funds, including Columbia High Yield and Northeast Investors. He also favors short-maturity bond funds (which yield just north of 1%) like Vanguard Short-Term Bond. Bank CDs are another alternative to money-market funds. Keep a mix of CDs that come due in three, six, 12 and 18 months. You can get 2% on a three-year CD, but you'll run the risk...
