Note that I'm not taking the position that US Debt is bad per se... just that you may not be as diversified as you think. For example, if you hold a balanced/blended fund in your 401k, you already have treasuries. Similar issues exist with equities... there are about 1000 ways to buy ExxonMobil, Apple and Wal-Mart! | |
