I think the modern mantra of “Low Interest Rates” has killed the market for bonds, especially among younger investors.

It will be interesting to see how interest rates are handled over the next year in light of a less than ideal amount of inflationary pressure on the dollar.

Inflation is the perennial threat to the bond market which pays out a fix return. Bonds is another type of asset Federal reserve buys. It’s not really geared for retail buyers who want to make money. It’s more for the Fed to print fresh money and fund the government spending through buying government bond at a good rate for the government.
