Joan, I find this updated performance table very interesting: www4.tiaa-cref.org Notice that now the 5-year performance of the bond funds is better than any of the stock funds. Note especially the one-year discrepancies. Look at the one-year return on inflation-linked bonds. Even over the longer haul, the increment in performance almost does not justify the risk. I say almost. But when the 10-year return of the stock funds shows as less than the bonds, and that could easily happen and even be a negative number after another couple of years, there's many billions of dollars in CREF that, overnight, can be switched into a money market fund or a bond fund.
