I would advise everyone to be fully aware of the duration principle and how it works when investing in bonds. Very few media pundits write on the practical use of bond duration and its adaptation to inflation, rather than avoidance of inflation effects.
Much media portfolio advice, particularly as it applies to bonds, is used merely to fill up space and not to truly enlighten. (See the Earl J. Weinreb NewsHole® comments and @BusinessNewshole at Twitter.)
