Good morning. End of the year or not, investors and traders alike often look at what’s going well... It’s the monthly jobs numbers today and they’re not going to be pretty and will be possibly the tip of the iceberg as we head into May. [Trading Tips] Good morning. End of the year or not, investors and traders alike often look at what’s going well in the market and what isn’t. This year marks the worst performance for investors since the 1930s. That’s not just because of the drop in the stock market. It’s also because of the drop in the bond market at the same time. That may cause some investors to move away from a portfolio blended with both stocks and bonds. The most traditional starting point for many investors is a portfolio split between 60 percent stocks and 40 percent bonds. That portfolio may seem dead after this year, but some still see it as a winner over the next decade. With the big jump in interest rates this year, that’s certainly possible. Bond yields are coming up as inflation is coming down, and there could be solid returns in that space in real terms for the first time in over a decade. Traders can potentially even buy bonds today near the tail end of an interest rate hike cycle, and swing big returns in the next few years when rates inevitably drop again.
