I have about $201,000 in cash but may need to use it all in 12 months. What is the best way to invest such a sum?

A: For such a short period of time, a money market account is your best choice.

Q: If I cancel my life insurance because I no longer need the coverage and recieve back less cash that I have paid in premiums, can I deduct the loss?

A: No, because this occured in a tax deferred accumulation account within your life insurance policy.
