Most say that a good portfolio is 60% stocks and 40% bonds and then to add on the bonds part as you age. I fully disagree because bonds are about to be a terrible investment in the future. Remember that bonds were called certificates of confiscation back in the 1970 due to constantly rising interest rates and inflation. As interest rates are at all time lows it might happen again.
I also discuss high yield bonds or junk bonds and the risk of investing in bond ETFs.
When bond yields go up, bond prices go down, it is as simple as that. Where will yields and interest rates go from now on?
