The One Chart Everyone Will Wish They’ve Seen

Last year, when stocks lost money, bonds were up. It’s the magic of counterbalancing.

As you can see in the chart below. In 14 of the 15 years that the S&P 500 has been down since 1950, intermediate term government bonds advanced. That’s a .933 batting average. And in the only exception year, in the 60s, the bonds were down a scant 0.74%.

In this record stock market this is a chart you may want to share with your friends and family.
