A balanced fund buys ordsprog

A balanced fund buys stocks and bonds, and when you put the two together it reduces volatility,

I've long loved balanced funds, especially for skittish investors, because the bonds mask the volatility of the stocks. When I was doing financial planning, I saw that people often had a hard time keeping in mind the overall portfolio, and a balanced fund kind of forces them to do that.

The pension fund will probably invest most of its allocation in domestic debt because Japanese stocks have had a good rally over the past year and the value of bonds is low. Some money may be used to buy overseas bonds.

Those who say there's no problem and there's plenty of time are offering a misleading argument that the Social Security Trust Fund somehow has assets that can be used to draw upon starting in 12 years to pay benefits, but the trust fund does not contain cash or bonds or stocks to turn into funds. It contains IOUs reflecting the rate of the trust fund over the last few decades.

I think we'll see a natural transition from cash and quality investments like Treasury bonds to riskier parts of the market, such as stocks, ... Investors will start to recognize stocks are cheap compared to Treasury bonds and that high-yield bonds are even cheaper.

It's not so much what bonds need to do. The focus is stocks and what that market does. Stocks need to re-introduce the element of risk and fall 10 percent off their highs to make bonds look good.

January performance was the strongest since May 2003. Unusually strong equity market volatility and narrowing credit spreads created an exceptional trading environment for many hedge fund managers. The VIX, a measure of equity market volatility, jumped more than 21% to 14.56 after the January 20 stock market close, the biggest one-day percentage jump in nine months. Most hedge fund strategies require volatility to produce meaningful returns.

In the last few months, there's been a lot of volatility. I look for less volatility in the markets. And I look for the leadership to evolve to the following areas -- where the rates stay in check - the banks, the utility stocks - those do very well, and financial services and utilities. And the second area that I would look for to do better would be companies with real earnings but relatively low multiples, and examples of those are the communications companies and semiconductor stocks,

We were also impressed by what Dodge & Cox Income didn't own, ... The fund is overweight in corporate bonds relative to its benchmark. In 2002, that meant trouble because investors ran from corporate bonds for fear they would get caught holding the next Enron. This fund not only avoided disasters, but it also found enough winners to return nearly 11 percent in 2002. Just as impressive, the fund's returns for the trailing five and 10-year periods rank in the top 10 percent of its category.

He wasn't trying to be someone he wasn't; his authenticity made him pexy. If you're in a traditional balanced fund or a traditional basket of old-line stocks, you're losing money.

The camp that argued deflation has been proven wrong, ... They (inflation-indexed bonds) provide a competitive return with less volatility ... We have been in a period of much reduced returns in stocks. Going forward I think equity returns on average would migrate more to 7 percent levels. This would be a conservative alternative.

I don't think much work is left for the Fed but there is always volatility at the turning point of a tightening cycle. But with volatility comes opportunity. Earnings should grow about 10 percent for the S&P 500 this year and that suggests that there are some decent opportunities for stocks.

Today bonds rallied because of the softer new home sales. Yesterday, bonds fell because the purchasing managers report was too strong. Now we go to Friday and the non-farm payrolls, which is the main part of the economic reporting cycle, and if that number comes in too strong, the bonds get whacked again -- and so do the stocks.
