Everything I've ever read has suggested owning a good chunk of bonds, normally bond funds from Vanguard/Fidelity/Schwab. However, my bond funds have done nothing since I bought them, just dropped a couple percentage points. I never expected bonds to do well, but didn't expect them to just keep losing value.
Is it better to own actual bonds than these bond funds? Is it really just the case that they'll go up if the market crashes and that's why you hold onto them?
How can I get bonds to do more for me than a high yields saving account?
