2016 is a long way off<g> when global equity markets manage to stage a decent rally IMHO.

I feel the same way about longer term treasuries, by which I mean anything over a year. Even five-year notes could get cut 20% by inflation before you got your money out. I think TIPs is the only way to got for safety in US obligations. All my bond money is in funds denominated in Australian (FAX), Canadian and Brit (FCO) and Euros (BEGBX). I haven't decided at what point to switch back into 6-month treasuries and might just bank the money if I can get a 30% gain on the dollar slide. Or may go even more heavily into energy. I am about 10% in gold and silver in one way or another.
