ThickenMyWallet. Thanks for stopping by. Great blog of your, by the way. I have subscribed to your RSS feed. I'm not an expert in bonds, but from the opinions of those I admire, the bond market is relatively more efficient than the stock market. There isn't enough inefficiencies for portfolio managers to exploit, so it's not worth paying the expensive management fees. Hey!!! ThickenMyWallet. Thanks for stopping by.

So its probably better to pay off your debt than invest in a bond fund. In the US, mortgage is tax deductible.
