Title should say : Bonds beat stock by factor of 11 from 1981 to 2009

The tortoise wins the race.

I remember this guy I used to work with. Came here on a work visa and thought he was brilliant - Americans were stupid. Anyways, he would laugh when myself and a couple other folks would talk about our investments in bonds, t-bills, CD's, etc. He lost his shirt in the Clinton “Dot Com” recession. Wonder if he's in a cardboard box after the latest burst?

Best strategy for long bear market 2010-2020 (factor of 11 from 1981 to 2009)

Then why did my stock portfolio so wildly outstrip both my securities and funds portfolios?

I did have the foresight to convert all my stocks to securities two years ago when the Rats won the Congress back.

Does this guy make his money selling bonds?
