In this environment of lowering interest rates does it make sense to park cash in an international bond fund?


I have roughly $4000 a month I need to save for the next year. so I'm wondering if it makes sense to invest in an international bond mutual fund, and earn more than a plain jane savings account..

What do you folks think? I am correct in stating that lowering interest rates causes bonds to increase correct?

Thank you

Sounds like a safe investment. And yes, the value of bonds would rise as interest rates decline.

The value of the US$ has a similar half life to prawns in a heat wave.
invest in a euro denominated bond.
The US$ is rapidly becoming the poor mans' wallpaper.
