Hi All,

Conventional wisdom dictates that stocks provide better long term returns than bonds. However, given last years bloodletting in the financial markets and high volatility of equities over the last decade, some are beginning to question this point of view.

Specifically CitiGroups Robert Buckland has noted that high grade corporate bonds are becoming increasingly attractive as compelling long term alternative to stocks (here).

Best,

James

MANAGE YOUR MONEY TOGETHER

Here are some simple guidelines for DINKS to build wealth:

1) Collaborate: Meet regularly to talk about money, set goals together, track and monitor them.

2) Understand and respect your partner. Take time to understand your partners values about money.

3) Watch the numbers. Get a budget, monitor your spending and track your net worth.

4) Max your retirement. Maximize contributions to your tax deferred retirement accounts.

5) Invest in stock. Stocks perform better than bonds or cash.
