This may sound crazy to most readers here, but as a 45 year-old, until 2022 I had never lived in, let along invested in, a rising interest rate environment.
This is, of course, owing to the enduring bond bull market from 1981-2022 (RIP). Obviously, we all know rates rose in 2022 and have held steady for a bit. They are now mostly in the 4% range depending on duration.
As a young investor in the 2010s and early 20s, I didn't find bond interest rates in the sub-3%, sometimes sub-2% range to be a compelling investment compared to stocks.
Could now be the time to go long in bonds? Why or why not?
