well, it depends...the yield spread between TIPS (inflation-protected bonds) and 'normal' t bonds is once again declining, which is a gauge of diminishing inflation expectations. if the proponents of a beginning K-winter are right, we could enter a phase of outright deflation, in which case govt. bonds would definitely be a great investment. just look at Japan...the return on JGBs since 1990 has been very impressive (of course that's now another bubble awaiting breakage).
