Anyone here looking at Bonds? (specifically, US government bonds)
BND?Nope, not for me.
These days bonds are considered "return-free risk" by some.
Here is backtest of AGG (BND but goes back further) vs. SPY.
testfol.io: Portfolio Backtester for ETFs and Asset AllocationOver the period 2003 to 2025 you gave up $74,000 in return for lower volatility. $10,000 grew to $19,000 vs. $93,000.
$74,000 buys a lot of Tums and sleeping pills.
Add FCNTX to that backtest if you want to get really sick to your stomach.
