Shifting from Stocks to Bonds May Be Risky

When the stock market is too risky (as it was in 2008), investors often flee to safer shores.

In many cases, U.S. Treasury Bonds are those safer shores. And why not, the U.S. government guarantees it will redeem the bonds at their face value if held to maturity.

However, many investors hold the bonds during difficult times in the stock market and then sell them on the open market when the investor wants cash to get back into the stock market.

And that's where things can become risky.
