How Bonds and Stocks Bounce Back

Core fixed income returns are off to one of the worst starts to a year ever.  However, this week Brian discusses one of the positive characteristics of many fixed income investments is that we have a fairly good idea what to expect out of prospective fixed income returns and that is starting yields.Also, after their recent rebound, stocks are only down about 6% from record highs in January based on the S&P 500 Index. It’s fair to say stocks have been resilient in the face of may obvious challenges. So why haven’t stocks fared worse?
