  • There is a Wall Street saying that stocks are for people chasing wealth while bonds are for people trying to hold onto wealth. The types of risk involved and the structure of these different asset classes are a prime reason for the basis for this maxim.

The article from AOL discusses the financial strategy of avoiding bonds for investors under 40, particularly in light of the current economic environment. It highlights that with interest rates at historic lows, the traditional role of bonds as a safe haven and a source of steady income has diminished. Instead, the piece suggests that younger investors might benefit more from equities or other investment vehicles that offer higher potential returns, especially since they have a longer time horizon to weather market volatility. The article also touches on the concept of inflation risk, where the returns from bonds might not keep pace with inflation, effectively reducing purchasing power over time. It advises considering alternative investments like real estate, commodities, or even cryptocurrencies, which could provide better protection against inflation and offer growth opportunities. However, it cautions that these alternatives come with their own set of risks and require a well-thought-out investment strategy.
