>>11901173not really an economyfag, but bonds are somewhat more stable than stocks. the main difference between the 2 is that when you hold stocks, you essentially own a slice of the company. with bonds you're basically loaning out money to some entity. Since it's a loan, the value of your bond never really decreases, which means that just about anywhere you can invest in bonds is good, as long as you get a solid return on it and the company doesn't go bankrupt.
