You are capturing almost 90% of the historical return of the stock market in tax deferred account that is locked in for upwards of three decades. As I mentioned once before on "the other" thread, since bonds are marked-to-market, another way to look at it is using the current value of his bond portfolio. Using current value, his 9%+ bond portfolio is yielding more like 5.6%, so if he were so inclined, and he could find a suitable investment vehicle, he could sell and re-invest in a higher yielding manner. I, too, bought 30 yr, 9%+ bonds many years ago, thanks to Bob. I sold them after yields went so low that I felt they simply weren't worth holding. I think that was at about 7%. Hmmmm. Ken
