Don't ignore your fixed income

It has been about a year and a half of blogging and I cannot recall mentioning fixed income investments and it should make up some portion of your portfolio.  No, I am not talking cash or making a currency play, I mean strategic risk reducing, stability producing assets.  The chart below is comparing LQD (Investment Grade Corporate) against IEF (US Treasury, intermediate duration); AGG (Lehman Aggregate); TIP (Treasury Inflation Protected Security); MBB (Mortgaged Backed Securityes) and RPIBX (TRowe Prices unhedged non-dollar government index) 



I can see what needs selling and there looks like three possible alternatives to invest in:  MBB, AGG and LQD.
