Willcousa,

Well, you can always buy patriot bonds (EE and I bonds). Each person in your family can buy up to $45,000/year(135,000/year for a three person family, not that bad)and you can also charge the purchase to cash rebate card to maximize your gains (although meager, it's better than losing $ anyway). It's safer and you won't have any losses in any case. The worst is that the interest goes to 0 and you earn nothing if we are hit by deflation.

It's just that much better than money market funds that we have been buying them like crazy. We are underweighing traditional government bonds because of the risks you cited. I just don't see that we are in a good time to purchase stocks for the long run. Not right now anyway.

good luck,
larry
