Nearly my entire nest egg sits in TIPS and I-Bonds.

The debt downgrade certainly didn't make me want to sell.

I'm content just owning them until maturity.

I've said this before, but if I am a fool for owning them then at least I won't require a greater fool. ;)

I am not betting against greater fools. I am simply not relying on them. Big difference!
