This Notice applies to investors interested in investment opportunities in rural infrastructure; these potential investors are encouraged to contact the Department of Agriculture (USDA). The Rural Development Act of 1972 established USDA's authority to make loans and grants to rural communities.

The credit market turmoil is causing a revolution in the short-term investment practices of corporates -- both at the treasury level and at the board level -- as they struggle to digest exactly how the credit turmoil has affected their companies, their liquidity and their investments. Treasurers are reassessing the balance among yield, risk, liquidity and convenience in their cash investment strategies. As this review takes place, they are looking for independent sources of information on investment choices to supplement the transparency around investment risk being taken. Over the past few years, as many treasury departments downs...

This is not where you would expect the next financial blow-up to occur, but starting with Sentinel Management Group's cryptic letter to investors on August 13, basically telling them that they cannot have their own money, a picture began to develop with allegations of fraud, mismanagement and ultimately greed, as Sentinel fell into bankruptcy and a mad scramble ensued as investors vied for their assets.

Organizations can maximize the return on the investment of excess corporate cash while minimizing risk. Organizations should first determine the amount of risk they are willing to endure.
