perhaps. but the premise is return on investment regardless vs. risk and risk free rates. of course if you care to make an historical comparison between inflation rates etc of then and now that might be interesting. even avoiding risk, if you think it is high, it will be tough going to beat the fed's printathon and destruction of the currency.... but as Russell says: a devalued dollar may in the end not get you much overseas, and less here than before, but it is backed and will put food on your table and pay your rent etc.... when times get tough...vs. losing what bucks you have in a low yield over valued market....at this point he is reccomending short term gov paper because he fears what will happen if the dollar tanks. he's sold his longer term paper.
