I buy corporate bonds through funds. I think corp bonds are a good bet right now for someone who is lower risk. Not as low risk as government bonds but lower risk than stocks. Corp bonds are less sensitive to interest rates than government bonds, and the potential for capital appreciation is there as well. HOwever, I'm not a big fan of bonds and I'm buying stocks. I see bonds as a risk reducer, not necessarily to give a portfolio some umpff.
