You may be right, but seems to me if say 15% of mortgages in a country are currently behind in their payments should people shy away from treasury bonds? And your point is well taken about finding a place where your investment is safer, but when you comparison shop for "risk free" yields in some country, remember the all knowing market was in a stampede to pick up "risk free" yields of 15.5% in Iceland. Look at the stampede now for U.S. treasury bonds (30 year) at a paltry 3.x%. In bubbles and panics, fear rules, and as an innocent bystander I have to say this has to be a U.S. Treasury bond bubble.
