Bonds are like the biggest bubble! With interest rates being so low they have almost nowhere to go but up in interest meaning today's bonds will lose incrediable amounts of value.
If you're going to buy bonds the should be rather short term and at today's interest rates and low inflation you could also hold cash.
For that reason I'm mainly in stocks with a some bonds and cash.
"They have almost nowhere to go but up" has been being said by people for many years now when it comes to interest rates. It's a leading statement that somehow implies that rates are destined to go up because they are so low.
This isn't true. They have a few places they could go. They could go up. They could go down (ZIRP is a thing.) Or they could do what they've been stubbornly doing for a long time now, wobble around basically within the same range.
