HOLDING #5 - Government Bond: ADDED 09/19/2011
Vanguard Extended Duration Treasury (EDV)
| SHARES 41.940 | LATEST CLOSE 151 (+1.31) | Real $ $6,332.94 | Real $ % 5.33% |

IMPORTANT NOTE: The longest duration and lowest credit risk fund you can buy because it is made up of zero-coupon government debt. This fund is here primarily because in a bad recession, one in which interest rates plummet and defaults rise (and stocks fall), EDV can go up 50% or more, and yet is a viable low-cost longer-term holding.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This fund is also available as a super cheap (0.12% expense ratio - just like the ETF) admiral class open-end fund: Vanguard Mortgage-Backed Securities Index Fund Admiral Shares (VMBSX), with a $10k minimum. For those that can make the $50k minimum, Vanguard GNMA Fund Admiral Shares (VFIJX) is a slightly more volatile (higher duration/higher yield) choice. Vanguard GNMA Fund Investor Shares (VFIIX) is a good $3k minimum alternative.
