Q: Hi, I do not have any bonds or fixed income. Looking for one or two prospects to start, with about $50,000 to invest. Would like 3-4%+income. What are your views on the above, and of course any other you may suggest. Would like one size fits all if possible.
Also in a possible 30% downturn in the market , how much would a bond etf cushion the blow?
Thanks

Q: With the possibility of a pending recession in the next year, would you recommend selling one of the following bond funds: ZLC, XBB and ZHY?

Q: Please rate these as BUY; HOLD; or IGNORE. My purpose, of course, is market down turn protection.
