I have been worried about bonds for quite some time. I am more worried now. The price on bonds is still too high to warrant running there for safety. The risk, while less is more in the risk of no return that the risk of loss of principle. Treasuries have an after tax yield of 2% or less. With that in mind, calculating your return should be easy. A decade's worth of waiting for a return on your investment will net you next to nothing for the effort. Keep in mind that Treasury yields are low because their prices are high. Should those prices drop and that is always a distinct possibility at these high levels, years worth of income could be wiped out.
