I sold mine about 9 months ago. I figured that the states were heading for big money troubles and that there was a long shot chance that some of them would eventually default. A long shot chance was good enough to scare me out of them.

Sometimes it's good to be paranoid. <g>

Speaking of paranoid, anybody else considering pulling money from their 401K at a 10% penalty to get more into hard assets? Or am I going completely off the deep end?
