bond fund

Shellshocked investors are pouring money into bonds for their perceived safety. But are they buying into a bubble?

Right now, there is no good reason to own a bond fund, whether you're looking for income or an investment that will moderate the stock market's downturns.

You're better off owning short-term Treasuries or buying bank CDs.

The only thing good that can be said about bond funds lately is that stock funds have been worse. If you're looking for someplace to put your money, a high-grade corporate bond fund might be the best place.
