>Yeah, they've been doing great, haven't they? I read the other day that the U.S. government came out with a new issue that pays 0% interest but is guaranteed not to lose value. It quickly sold out and there were three or four times as many people who wanted to invest in it than there was room for. Think about that for a minute. All the traditional places to put your money are so far in the toilet people will gladly get into something GUARANTEED NOT TO MAKE MONEY just to hang onto what they've got.
