Why bonds?

Diversification Cushion: Historically, bonds have maintained a negative or low correlation to stocks, meaning they often gain value when stocks plummet, providing crucial portfolio protection.
Yield Cushion: As of late 2025, bonds are better positioned to handle sell-offs compared to 2022 because higher starting yields (e.g., 3.8% in Q4 2024 vs. 1.5% in Q1 2022) provide income that can buffer against price declines.
Scenario-Dependent Performance: If a 40% stock market drop is driven by recession fears (causing interest rates to fall), bond prices will likely rise. If it is caused by a massive spike in inflation and rates (a &quot;stagflation&quot; scenario), bond funds could experience temporary price declines. 
Overall, while the 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) has experienced drawdowns, it generally sees significantly shallower losses than a 100% stock portfolio. 

Eventually I see my account 50% commodities and 50% bond funds.
