I read your typo as 3.25 million and was thinking what in the fuck company has an office that big.

Was poking at my account and I managed to get to the page where it shows my money distribution and my suggested distrubition. Currently 99.9% stonks, .1% short term reserves (cash) only because it's too small amount to buy into anything. It suggests I pick up 10% bonds.
Is there anyone here that holds bonds for a reason other than short term paper handsing? The day I retire I might shift a more conservative portfolio... but bonds? PUKE

Bonds have been shit for a long time. There was a time when you could have bought some decent corporate paper but those companies all bought that shit back and reissued at much lower rates.

Essentially people are calling it a 30 year bond bubble. It popped and now they're shit. Until interest rates go up again, there's not a great reason to be in them. Interest rates rising will crush current bonds even further into the toilet.

I had a relative with 100k invested in a 10 year locked CD with 0.25% interest coming up on its 3 month window before getting locked into another 10 years. I said they should do literally anything else with that, literally anything else. Go buy fucking treasury bonds, give it to a financial manager.
They said nope. I don’t give financial advice to family members any more.

I don’t really give anyone advice because if it goes down I don’t want them blaming me. If someone asks me I’ll tell them my holdings, how each has done, things I’m looking at, but I don’t advise. I tell people to look at ETF history and decide for themselves.
I do have two guys at work that give me shit for moving my 401k allocations to safe havens the day before the 2020 crash and not telling them about my hunch. One would’ve made $200k if he followed me, the other said close to a million. Oops!
