I am in the process of switching my retirement accounts out of Fidelity because their so-called Treasury account also invests in junk bonds. My bank, for one, will let me buy real US-backed paper, although I may wind up at Vanguard. I am investigating whether I can roll over from a Keogh to another type, maybe 401(K), maybe SEP, that will allow me to buy a little bit of physical gold. Some do, Keoghs don't. The Fidelity representative acted all hurt and offended when I asked him to send me the forms. "Haven't we been treating you well? Don't we have everything you need?" He was silent for a moment when I explained my concern. The investment rep at the bank was very very nonplussed that all I wanted was treasuries. I explained that it wasn't forever, maybe just until the end of the year. I am sure that when I meet with him on Friday he'll try to talk me into something that pays a higher interest rate.
