I can't see any reason why anyone other than Osama would put his money in gold -- even sodam-insane had a billion in US cash. can I ask a dumb question -- I hope to find someone that can explain this to me sometime? Why would short and intermediate term bonds or bond funds go down if interest rates increased? Why wouldn't they just go up slower? -- It didn't decrease in value --it stayed the same. While I'm asking questions. Why would it be unsafe to buy muni's? Large cities do not go bankrupt, they raise taxes or get bailed out by the fed's. So there is lots of insurance against a loss. On the flip side, there are no taxes so any profits go a long way.
