Buy corporate bonds.
Check.. http://screen.yahoo.com/bonds.html
AAA with yields of 7% are listed. Junk bonds yield 10-11%
To me, a Wal-Mart bond is as safe as a government bond.
But, if you buy more than one bond, you can spread the risk around.
Unfortunately, brokers charge more for buying bonds than stocks.
If you buy TVC (Tennessee Valley), it is a stock but acts more like a bond and get a nice yield.

Buy in a mutual fund that has bonds. Right now I think bonds are much safer than stocks. When the price of bonds goes down the interest rate goes up and vice versa so you are always making money. Stocks are at an all time high so there's more of a likelyhood they will fall sometime soon.

I would say no...government bonds take decades to mature and they really dont amount to much for the amount of time you have to keep them. I would say invest in CD's or other investment opportunities at your local bank.

Sure if you are looking for security and don't have a high risk tolerance. Personally, I would do short term bond funds if you must have bonds in your portfolio.
