SSN is cheap and will do well in the medium and long term. However, note that with the Japan situation, many funds are pulling out and that causes a domino effect. Whilst SSN is sound, people just need to sell and use the money elsewhere - to cover borrowings and other losses. It really depends on how 'agressive' you are with you investment.
