Do You Really Need to Invest in Bonds for a Balanced Portfolio?

One of the most common nicknames for your retirement portfolio is "nest egg," but in the realm of food metaphors, it might be better to think of it like a holiday feast. So many dishes, so many choices, and to be healthy, you need to pick a properly balanced meal -- but also one that suits your personal tastes. So how should one do that? The answer comes under the heading "portfolio allocation," and it's the focus of this episode of Motley Fool Answers. In this segment, hosts Alison Southwick and Robert Brokamp consider an asset class much lauded for “safety,” but not usually for much else: bonds. What they do have going for them is that usually, when stocks plunge, bonds rise. But not always. They also consider the “bread and rolls” portion of your investment meal: cash, Treasury bills, and similarly liquid holdings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Subscribe to The Motley Fool's YouTube Channel:    / themotleyfool   Or, follow our Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/+MotleyFool/p...
