My intermediate bond funds are all in tax free or tax deferred. If the stock market sold off as in 2001 or 2008, I'd not hesitate to move them to Treasuries. I actually monitor on a monthly basis to force myself to track the numbers. No way would I hold them in a 1930's type of decline. In 2008 there was no way to really know which way things would head so one has to be proactive.Interesting information. I kind of got the feeling that more people held more treasuries and less corp bonds, but it appears to be just the opposite, though this is a small sampling. I agree with poster above. I find it hard to purchase treasuries at the prevailing rates. But of course if we had another
2008-2009, or a 20's depression again, I might feel differently. How secure the short and intermediate bonds would be, I don't know.
