Joan, The dollar has been pretty volatile. Not like the Carter or Reagan buck, but pretty wild for first Bush/Clinton.

Bonds are usually the security that handles most dollar volatility. Stocks tend to be afterthoughts.

Joan

Here's my two cent view.

When I see a great deal of Volatity in the currenices, I begin to belief that middle to long term changes are taking place, and that people are re-positioning their positions.Some with a sense of urgency and that creates the volatily.

Time may be here for some fundamental change' Smart move, moving into forgien bond funds.

Joan, you have mentioned TGG a couple of times.

I was just looking at it, and its largest holdings (12%) are in US bonds, and the largest position there is FNM. Its third largest position is in Turkey. Also well represented are Mexico and Venezuela. One of its larger individual positions is a Russian bond.
