Though depending on the form in which you hold them, when interest rates spike (very unlikely this year or next, IMO) you could get clobbered.
The absolute safest thing it seems to me -- and anyone who follows my advice deserves whatever they get -- would be inflation-indexed bonds that you hold to maturity. Then at least you preserve whatever you may have. I welcome the wisdom of those more savvy, which is probably everybody.
