It’s unfortunate that it is so hard for people to purchase bonds themselves without buying into a bond fund of some kind. I find there is still a lack of clarity when it comes to bonds. Also, unless you have at least $10K per bond to invest, you usually get hit with steep commissions.

Take a look at this column Rob Carrick from the Globe & Mail wrote in October 2009 on how bonds can protect you if the stock markets and the economy both stumble.

I wish I could make it to picnic in the park, but I won’t be in the Toronto Area until the 20th when I will be going to rock out with my favourite band: Bon Jovi. I hope you have nice weather, good food and good company.

good info gail; i’m not quite to the investing other than my 2 plans at work (one is completely employer-funded while the other is a 403-b that matches 3% as long as i invest at least 6% – not turning down free money!). while i still have debt to pay i feel i need to concentrate on that and once i finish up there, i’ll have a bit more to split between emergency fund, savings, and retirement funds.
this is one of those blogs i mark for “information” so i can have it when it IS time to seek investments.
suzanne, hoping you are coming along better today; it sounds like you’ve made some positive changes & are advancing along a bit. good for you; though a nice foul temper tantrum certainly serves its purpose! the boarder will help immensely!
maureen-dear maureen. sending you my prayers & good karma for your strength & successful recuperation. i will miss you so very much!

so far in my investment life I’ve steered clear of the bond market. I’m not sure why that is, but when the credit crisis happened bond yields went through the roof, while equities tanked. I could have helped balance out the pain I was feeling from the equities I held. Lesson learned I guess.

regards,

Jason

Not a bond comment at all, but Suzanne, how are you making out?
