dAK, I took your reply to mean the long bond, regardless of whether or not it was US in origin and regardless of whether or not it was in a fund. My mistake... A thousand pardons effendi... <g> But the point is that no one really has a solid answer to the question. Long bond, government fund, foreign debt... All have substantial risks in a deflationary economic environment, and I think the risks are quite different from the risks we might expect in a more normal mild inflationary economic environment. I have often wondered if the US government would devalue the currency, and correspondingly devalue debt instruments, were we to find ourselves in a severe deflationary period. KJC
