However, this history hasn’t stopped gloomy forecasters from predicting a double-dip in 1991 (it didn’t happen) and in 2003 (when it didn’t happen again). Will we again avoid the double-dip recession this time? It’s dangerous to make predictions, but it seems more likely that what we’re really experiencing is a “soft patch” in the economic recovery as retail sales remain weak, con- sumer confidence is low and unemployment remains high. But on the positive side, manu- facturing activity has been strong, corporate earnings have rebounded to pre-recession lev- els and profit margins are near all-time highs. And yet, many investors are focusing strict- ly on the negative reports — and they’re act- ing on their fears by moving money from stocks to fixed-income vehicles, such as bonds. During the period from July 2008 through June 2010, investors pulled more than $200 bil- lion out of stock-based mutual funds and put more than $475 billion into bond funds, according to the Investment Company Institute. Bonds can provide a source of regular income and will return your principal when they mature, providing the issuers don’t default. They’re an important part of most investors’ portfolios. But if you’re joining the crowd and over-concentrating on bonds, you risk losing the following: • Growth opportunities — According to Ibbotson, a leading investment research organization, stocks have done particularly well following 10-year periods in which the stock market hasn’t performed strongly — and the past 10 years were one of the worst periods we’ve ever seen for stocks. And right now, many quality stocks are trading at some of the most attractive values in 15 years, as meas- ured by price-to-earnings ratio, or P/E. • Portfolio balance — Ideally, you want your portfolio to contain a mix of investments — stocks, bonds, international and cash — designed to reflect your risk tolerance, time horizon and long-term goals.
