I would recommend against buying long-term fixed-dollar investments. If you ask me if the U.S. dollar is going to hold its purchasing power fully at the level of 2011, 5 years, 10 years or 20 years from now, I would tell you it will not. I would much rather own businesses. It’s very easy to take away the value of fixed-dollar investments.

Buffet's right. Except for the crazies in the world and mother nature shocking us recently, 30 year Treasury yield would be at least 50 basis points higher.
