[Mariyn Munroe <who.c@res.co.nz>]

I am contemplating putting some money into bonds. With Allan Greenspan 
determined to keep the U S economy ticking over by throwing (almost) free 
money around, the yields that are available to me here in N Z are not very 
good.

The ideal time to buy fixed interest bonds is when yields are high but there 
is always the worry that they may go even lower, or alternatively higher and 
you may locked in at a low yield.

My question is what direction do you think that yields will go?

I realize that this is a "what will happen in the future" question. If you 
were able to answer it with accuracy you would be able to spend you days 
basking on a tropical beach like a seal. The hardest part of your working day 
would be to talk by cellphone with your broker.

Have a go answering the question.If you are basking on the beach as part of 
your daily graft say so. It will add credibility to your opinion.
