"Of couse sitting out of the stock market for any 10 year period always makes bonds look like a poor investment."

Except for 1930-1940, 1970-1980 and 2000-?...

I've been in bonds since January 2000 (after 10 years+ fully invested in stocks). It would have been hard to have done better in stocks unless you were a very active trader.

Yep - my bonds funds have been about my only money makers in the last year.
