[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you talking about a long term strategy/allocation? Cash is great right now, but that will change. Very few people will advocate for holding cash instead of bonds as a long term position. Some might prefer short term bonds over intermediate term bonds. But cash? Nope.[/quote] Wrong. If short-term rates go down, bond yields will also go down. There is a lot of data to show that bonds only return 1% more than cash in the long run. And you're still subject to large principal losses, if interest rates go up, from your supposedly safe investment. Bonds are stupid all the time.[/quote] If rates go down bond yields will go down but the bonds themselves will appreciate. You don’t get that appreciation with cash.[/quote]
