Then verily, O Sage of Age, what investments will yield
growth in 2017? You can look forward and not just
backwards, right?

Bonds! Buy early, buy often.

You do realize interest rates are going up, right?
You do realize that that will cause bonds to lose value,
right?

Or... are you just trying to turn affluent house-dwelling
lubbers into destitute sailbote-bound vagabonds?

Thanks for your sage sagacity... we will check back later
in the year. Good luck with the bonds, and i'm going
with the equities.

Bonds will be profitable because business will be
booming under the Trump pro-business administration.

If a company issues bonds they will be able to pay
some really good interest rates on them and they are
considered a secure investment. Even so-called *junk*
bonds stand a good chance of being a successful investment
during the boom-economy of Trump.

The stock market stands to be more volatile. Money can
be made there but mostly by the professionals.
