It's a generally accepted idea that one should hold a portfolio around 100 - <age> as percentage of stock and bonds. Example, at 30: 70% stock, 30% bonds. At 60: 40% stock, 60% bonds.
However, I keep reading that U.S bonds might be in trouble soon since monetary policy has been too loose for too long and China / Japan are starting to divest from them (e.g. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-03-15/china-s-holdings-of-u-s-treasuries-drop-to-six-month-low).
Now, with that and the stock market recently showing signs of bull-fatigue, is BND and such class asset still a safe place to park the bonds part of portfolio or should we come up with an alternative?
