“Steer clear of bonds when the yield on the 10-year Treasury note is under 2.5%… the average yield on investment-grade corporate bonds is just over 3%… and the average yield on junk bonds is just over 5%.  As Kathleen Gaffney, portfolio manager of the Eaton Vance Bond Fund, warns, credit markets today are ‘extremely overvalued.’  Although extreme valuations are poor market-timing indicators, they’re a big killer of long-term returns.  There are only two possible outcomes if you’re a bond investor.  Either you buy a bond and hold it to maturity. Or you buy a bond and sell it on to another investor before it reaches maturity.  And either way, investors are blindly taking big risks right now.”
