I figured let me lock in guaranteed 5% for fixed income portion of portfolio.

If we rapidly decline in rates next 2 years at what point (% gain) would you consider taking profit and deploying back into stock.

I guess does it become an asset allocation question at that point?

It depends on your forward rate expectations. There's a huge difference in capital gains on a 5% move to 3% versus 5% to -3%. You should think about that and use a convexity calculator to find a target.

I meant the bonds appreciation in value not taxes. You can probably get a nice 20-30% if something bad happens.

Every day I realize how little I know about the breadth of financial options
