    If you are under 30, probably not. If you are over 50, and have quite a bit of money saved, you should have quite a few. If you have over $5 million, you should probably just stick with bond unless you like to play with your money for the fun of it.

    The advantage of bonds is they are usually a low risk investment choices. As a result the return on investment is lower. They should be considered in any investment portfolio. The closer an investor is to retirement the more thought should be given to the amount of risk one is willing to assume.
