Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Nevertheless, US treasury is still the safe haven for the rest of the world. Negative and near zero yields are here among European and Japanese debts. It is crazy that you (the investors) pay the banks to hold your money.
Other suggested to buy blue chip stocks with dividends that are higher than Treasury yield. S&P 500 bond index (not stock index) was also suggested in Ted's earlier posting.
Bonds, both domestic and foreign, in dedicated bond funds, are 28.25% of current portfolio. Then there are large holdings in balanced funds, MAPOX and PRWCX. Quite a good year, so far. Foreigners flocking into US bonds. Interest rates at record lows, meaning that share prices are up. What happens to the US dollar when the bubble bursts? And when might that happen? And where will I reallocate my goodly bond-profit dollars, at my scheduled reallocation time, after the New Year?
