Pardon me for being blunt. But the returns on most bonds, bond ETFs, and bond mutual funds stink. To high heaven!
Just one example: A 10-year Treasury Note yields about 1.7 percent per year. At that interest rate, it would take 41.1 years to double your money. That’s more than four times longer than the bond would even be outstanding!
What about if you’re willing to take on more credit risk, like with a high-yield bond? Well, one of the most popular “junk” bond ETFs — the iShares High Yield Corporate Bond ETF (HYG) — was recently yielding about 4.9 percent. At that rate, you’re looking at more than 14 years to double your money.
The returns on bonds are so lousy because we have one of the biggest bubbles I have EVER seen in ANY market, ANY where! That’s because all the central bank funny money being printed here, in Japan, in the U.K., and in Europe, is finding its way into bond markets all over the planet. It’s artificially inflating prices … just like it previously inflated housing prices, and dot-bomb stocks before that.
But in my view, there ARE relatively safe investments out there.
Investments that feature LESS volatility than your average stock, but MORE dividend yield than bonds (or your average stock!).
Not only that, these investments are absolutely on fire — trouncing the market across the board.
Bonds? In this Environment?
Fuggedabout It!
I’ve followed the bond market for a long time — more than a decade and a half. I have never, EVER seen such inflated prices and such lousy yields in virtually every corner of the market. Moreover, the RELATIVE returns that bonds offer, compared with my favorite sectors and stocks, are an absolute travesty!
At the same time a 10-year Treasury is yielding 1.7 percent, one of my favorite ETFs in a conservative sector has surged 17.8 percent year to date! Another ETF whose component stocks I’ve been recommending for several months has jumped more than 19 percent! Both sport lower volatility readings than the average S&P 500 stock, and higher dividend yields!
Yet I still see many investors hiding out in bonds. Junk bonds. Treasury bonds. Long-term corporate bonds. Frankly, I just don’t get it. It’s like these people are working extremely hard just to generate some of the worst yields in history!
Worse, they’re exposing themselves to huge potential losses from even small moves in interest rates. When the 10-year is yielding 1.7 percent, it doesn’t take much of a price move at all to completely wipe out a year, two years, three years, or more in yield!
So that’s why I’m doing my dead level best to help you rectify this situation …

Select sectors should continue leaving bonds in the dust. |
My report also tells you all about 2013’s hottest stock market sectors — and why they should continue to trounce bonds. Not only that, I’ve also scrubbed each and every one of the 286 stocks in those sectors using my “analytical ace in the hole” — the stock selection system originally designed by Weiss Ratings!
This is a massive value to you:
- Our Weiss bank ratings have warned of nearly every major and minor bank failure in ADVANCE for the past three decades …
- The U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) found that our Weiss insurance company ratings beat our #1 competitor’s by a factor of THREE to ONE. And …
- The Wall Street Journal reported that the Weiss stock ratings we published beat EVERY other provider they covered by a wide margin.
And now, in my brand new report, you can get your hands on all 286 stocks the Weiss Ratings system has selected. These are the stocks with the best ratings and highest yields that you should buy up by the fistful … and the ones with dirt-poor ratings you shouldn’t touch with a ten-foot pole!
You will also get my six, specific “buy” recommendations — stocks and ETFs I’ve run through my own personal fundamental and technical filters. I believe you simply have to own these if you want to beat the bond bubble, and rack up better-than-market returns!
