Suze has always been negative on holding bond funds, but last night on her show she formally recommended getting out of bond funds completely. She qualified that she is only talking about bond mutual funds, not individual bonds that can be held until maturity.
While this is not a new position for her, I've never seen her make such a bold statement as she did last night. I know a lot of folks here don't look to her for advice, but I'm wondering what everyone thinks of this. I have to admit, I don't see much hope for bond funds increasing in value over the next few years, and the returns are pretty weak, so there isn't much upside to holding them. However, with 40% of my money in fixed income, if I don't put them in bond funds, what do I invest in?
