Perchoutofwater Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 I agree. I'm about to perch the thread, but I haven't bought any bonds since seeing how the GM bond holders were screwed over by the government. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Country Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yup.... I'm shifting towards doing more like what I suggested in detlef's mortgage payoff thread. View the paying off of the mortgage early as the equivalent to the bond portion of my portfolio and shift out of bonds.... maybe keep some short term bond funds and some TIPS in there for fuller diversification, but definitely at a lower allocation than before.

geeteebee Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Canadian treasuries are a much better hold than US. You can buy them through most brokers or buy the etf. Bonds of a similar maturity pay a nice premium to their US counterpart and are a safer proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
