.......Even in the most pessimistic of situation, u should have at least a bit of equity exposure. Let's say 80% bonds 20% equities - in a boom, bonds deliver the incomes, equities provide some capital gains; in a crash, u may lose up to 10% (assuming equities crash up to 50%, your 20% will go down 50%, thus the portfolio as a whole drops 10%), but your bonds will rise due to yield compression.
And so it is safe to deduce that in a recession typically, short term bond prices are low but have high yields. Am I right?
