Bond is an investment instrument also, but it is very difficult to take care of it when the interest rate fluctuates. Normally, the amount to buy a bond is huge, not a good move.

Bond seldom sold in public. I guess you have to find out why?

if bonds cannot be bought and sold freely in malaysia ... then, how to diversify between equity market and bond market as they negatively correlated?...

They are not negatively correlated. They are two different things. Normally bond trading involve huge amount of money, so only institutional players can trade the bonds.

ejleemy, you're correct. It depends on the market condition.
