Hi everyone,
I'm in the middle of reading The Intelligent Investor and I've decided to split up my holdings between 50-50 between equity and bonds. In the Zweig edition, he states that intermediate duration bonds are the best, since it provides a meatier yield than short term while still keeping the risk from interest rates moderate. However, 5-10 year yields, especially on treasuries, are extremely low.
What are your opinions regarding bond funds in this current environment (duration, type, etc) and do you think a 50-50 policy is a smart move? Regarding the latter, we're deep within a long bull run and it's probably a good idea to start hedging in some way, although the low yields are just almost insignificant after inflation and tax.
Your advice is greatly appreciated.
