Bonds are supposed to be low-risk low-yield investments which help reduce the volatility of your portfolio. However, if you're young (20s) and don't plan on accessing that money for a long time, is it better to put it on stocks?
All the lazy portfolios have large sections dedicated to bonds (30%-40%) but I was wondering what would be the downside if you put your whole retirement funds on diversified stocks (domestic & international) as well as secure dividend funds (REITs & Large Cap Dividend Funds).
I've just started maxing out my retirement funds and will have a couple thousands in a year so I wanted to start planning now.
