[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed recently that DH's index bond fund in his retirement account is doing very well. I'm considering putting some money I have in an IRA in a bond fund while we see what happens with the stock market, plus I think we are over-exposed in stocks anyway. Does anyone have any advice? Am I talking out of my butt? Discuss, discuss.[quote] Short discussion. You are looking in the rear view mirror. Sell DH's bond fund, now. Do not put any money in a "bond fund." Buy individual, well-selected bonds if you must. Interest rates can not possibly go any lower than they are now. If they do, it will be marginal and (very) temporary. Bonds will be crushed when rates rise. Never, ever look in the rear view mirror when it comes to money.[/quote]
