Tommaso,

I don't know of any bond fund that is purely in Swiss francs, maybe some one on SI would respond if they have one on their radar screen. I do own a fair size chunk of TGG, but they do not own any Swiss debt.

I am keeping an eye on SWZ. The stocks they own are great companies but they are overpriced. If this bear market corrects these stocks, there should be a point where it will be a good buy.

I have in the past bought foreign debt through Merrill Lynch, they want foreign bond lots to be $100,000.

I have bought a small position in the 30 year Treasury and 10 year agency debt during the last sell off at around 6%. I will add to these positions when the rate gets to 7%. I don't think this economy can take long term interest rates that are very high. As you can see I am not in the inflation camp.

Joan
