Short term bonds

[moneymaker]

Just thinking with the stock market at new highs and the government buying bonds/treasuries would it be a good idea to buy short term bonds assuming any future government moves/policies will insure that their stake doesn’t dwindle quickly? What says everybody? Safe or nay.

Depending on how much you want to invest, most short term bonds (3-6 months) are paying less than you can get from FDIC insured savings accounts.

You can get 1.3% from American Express personal savings and 1.10% from DollarSavingsDirect.com.

I was thinking more like 1-2 years, as most economists can’t project out beyond that.

Bonds may not be a good idea right now. Now that the GOP finally revealed their hypocrisy and gave up the austerity/balanced budget rhetoric (just check google trends for “balanced budget” for proof), market suddenly seems to be much more optimistic about growth prospects of the economy. Fed funds futures now forecast a better than 50% chance of a rate hike by November 2011. The only way this hike is going to happen is if the recovery goes into overdrive (we’re talking 8-10% GDP growth in 2011) and unemployment falls below 8% by the end of the year. This should be a good time to be in stocks.
