Safety of treasuries? If I were a buy and holder of these instruments, I think part of me would rather own Apple, Google and IBM corp bonds than Tbonds, especially in a large number of countries.

 

TBT decay is interesting, Dec 2008 TLT @ 120 = TBT 36, now TLT 98 = TBT 38.

 

safest investment now is to lend money to China. How can i lend money to the Chinese?

 

I agree. There are many more corp bonds I would rather own than government bonds.

 

and also would add WalMart to the list. They may outlast the govts & bonds of most european countries.
