I have to agree with what adsadfsfas says about bonds, "terrible time for bonds. I just read the new book Fundamental Stock Investing and Wealth Building" and it explains in detail how dangerous bonds are right now. Before you buy bonds read that book on Amazon first!

Bonds have been on a great 30 year run as interest rates dropped from ~15% down to around 2%. The next 30 years are unlikley to perform anywhere near as well. I am not a huge market timing fan by anymeans but when things are at 30 year highs or lows (i.e. gold and bonds), you really have to think twice before investing in them.
People worry about losing money in the stock market. They should fear not making money just as much.
