His insight is invaluable to Shurwest and to our advisors. If you want Chris’ input on a securities-related case, call me and I’ll get him on the line. And now, from Chris Price:

When it’s stormy outside, we humans naturally seek a cozy cave to hide out in for protection. That’s what we do with our money, too. Bonds have been a traditional “cave” for retirees’ “safe money”—especially for those who believe they only have three choices when allocating their nest egg: cash, stocks or bonds.

But how safe is that cave? Could rocks start falling from the ceiling? Financial analysts warning of a bond bubble on the verge of bursting think so.

Type “bond bubble” into your web browser and you’ll get 275,000 hits on the subject, from such sources as Forbes and MSNBC.
