I would never buy bonds, the growth opportunity does not exist.The only time I would ever use bonds is if I was like 70 and had $20M and wanted a no risk play. I'd go all in on Muni's and live out my days. I have a friend of mine who does that but he's in his 50's and I don't even think he's taking into account another 30+ years of life with that plan. He very well could lose tons to inflation but he seems happy.

I just dumped all my bonds (except Vanguard short-term) since the average loss YTD was 5.5%

I don't see any recovery until the rates (which haven't gone up yet ! start to go down).
