US government bailed out automakers and banks. Will Obama let local administrations fail?
Since my opinion is that US government will bail out local administrations, I am buying a 7% yielding municipal bond ETF.
Market Vectors High-Yield Municipal Index ETF [HYD] is high risk, it buys bods that are even below investment grade. Here is some data:

here is the prospect:
Stocks tumble, Housing prices sink, Gold prices down. The only safe haven is German Treasury Bonds. Fortunately I bought some of those trough an ETF: EB.REXX Government Germany 2.5-5.5 IS ERGG 2.5-5.5 (RXP2EX.FRA) November 6, 2008

This ETF owns German treasury EURO Bonds with lifetime between 5.5 years and 2.5 years. It is an average lifetime for treasury bonds.
Germany has a strong manifacturing economy. German state and its citizens have very low debt levels. In my opinion there in nothing in World as safe and risk free as German treasury bonds.
Its main holdigs are:
