How are your bonds doing? I stopped watching 3 seconds into the open.

You must have seen quite a rise over the past week. Not taunting...I am applauding. My dividend stocks are getting some pretty decent returns. No one has cancelled dividends yet—as far as I know.

Some of the oil stocks have slashed their dividends.

I haven't looked. Since they're bond funds, I won't know until the end of the day. As it is, I suspect bond fund managers have had to deal with more movement than usual the past couple of weeks. A bit different game than having individual bonds.

As nervous as my wife and I are about investing in the stock market, especially my wife, even she wondered if we shouldn't invest now in some stock funds. Seriously, if the US stock markets collapse, the whole country will collapse. Probably won't matter if we have investments in stocks, bonds, or cash at that point.
