A Trend Following Bond Portfolio For Any Environment | Seeking Alpha

A Trend Following Bond Portfolio For Any Environment | Seeking Alpha



This is great article which explains the benefits of owning bonds.  I agree with the author that bonds can produce significant returns if you stay with it and if you have a good plan like a couple of those strategies that were mentioned in the article.  You never know when the stock market will fall, and government bonds will be the best place to be at that time.



You can also sleep better at night if you know you have a well diversified portfolio.  If half of your money happens to be invested in good stock picks, you will get ahead just fine with your 50% stock allocation while your 50% bond allocation will protect you if your stock picks go bad because 50% of your money will be safe.  We must always be prepared for the worst while we hope for the best.
