Does anyone know if government bonds and treasury bills are good investments?
I am looking to invest in government bonds as an alternative to putting my money in a bank which offers a very limited amount of protection ($ 250,000 FDIC insurance limit). Which bonds are the best to invest in? Which bonds give the best returns and the most amount of protection? For instance, if I place $ 5,000,000 in government bonds, will my money be protected until the bond reaches maturity? I also was told that the money will be tax free if it is placed in government bonds, is this true? Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Yes your money would be protected, but putting $ 5,000,000, inflation would eat that money. You could invest some of it in bonds and some in income stock funds and get a much better return. Even an index fund.
