Sealy mattress tops J.P. Morgan Investment picks for 2008

(New York)- Today J.P. Morgan released its annual report on investment picks for 2008. Topping the list was a Sealy brand mattress.

“In today’s unsure environment, investors crave security. Throughout our research, we were hard-pressed to find a more solid performer than the Sealy Posturepedic king-size model mattress…” read an excerpt from the report. “While other mattresses still offer similar levels of asset preservation, the combination of the Sealy’s managable weight and patented EZ-lift handles make it the smartest choice for nest egg protection on the market today.”

Many industry analysts tend to agree. Herman Price, former consultant for Bears Sterns says he has been suggesting the safety and convenience of a solid performing mattress for more than a year now.

For added security, Price advises his clients to hedge by placing some of their funds within a few inches of the edge of the mattress, while the true nest egg rests safely in the middle. “By positioning limited funds near the edge, you are allowed faster access to your portfolio in times of emergency- there is no need to fully raise a king size mattress. But beyond the obvious advantage of added liquidity, “ added Price “there is a good chance such a move will prove to distract would-be thieves from your main core savings.”

Price also suggests a diverse portfolio, consisting of not only 20’s and 50’s but 5’s and 10’s as well. “Most people don’t think of that at first” he said. “By covering a variety of denominations, the investor allows himself greater flexibility and will waste less time waiting for change.”
