How much of the F fund is at risk due to the Lehman Brothers bankruptcy filing. Here is a quote from TSP:

"The F Fund is invested in the Barclays U.S. Debt Index Fund. Because the LBA Index contains such a large number of securities, it is not feasible for the Barclays U.S. Debt Index Fund to invest in each security in the index. Instead, Barclays selects a large representative sample of the various types of mortgage-backed, U.S. Government, corporate, and foreign government securities included in the overall index. "

Great article having to do with interest rates and how they effect the bond market. With your comment in mind inflation is around the corner, interest rates will go up, the stock market will go down, so take your choice, what about the realestate investment, interest rates go up resulting in less home buyers, deflation and your home is worth less then it is today. Where do your turn for your retirement strategy? You pay off your debt, stop purchasing all those extra goodies like the 102 inch HD TV, a new car and boat, a 1300.00 video camera for you to view your family ten years from now.
