Subject: Re: where to store money
with all the US debt, I wonder if there is some risk.
I think there is some risk in anything outside an insured bank account (for which you are, in effect, paying an insurance premium in the form of a real negative interest rate). I think the risk of the United States actually defaulting on its debts is not worth considering. Interest rate risk (are perhaps inflation) are higher now than one might like, but not so high that short-terms bonds can't keep up, which is all I look for in storing money.
