Depends on your goals and how much money you have.

Bonds aren't for making money. You park your money in them AFTER you've made it.

You park your cash into bonds when the market is going to tank. And it's going to tank very soon so get into bonds.

I got my cash in bonds and cds awaiting the burst.

I thought bonds were a bad place to park money because with the higher interest rates coming from the FED people will want to buy bonds with better interest rates? I'm new to all this so sorry if it's a stupid question but isn't that how it works?

In a market crash the central bank will lower interest rates to stimulate growth (more investment). The bonds you have from before the crash are stable at the higher interest rates, and are unaffected by market changes. The US govt has never once defaulted on bonds and it will never happen. That is why bonds are risk free. You don't have to worry about high interest rates. 1-2% is going to be the standard for sustained growth for a very very long time ignoring any massive market booms/depressions.

That is how it works. I've had muni bonds way before the rate hikes so I put all of my money into cds within the last year. I sold off some bonds that had downgraded ratings. Now I'm waiting and just buying cds until I feel good about the muni bond/treasury rates or an incoming stock market burst.

Yes every solution to the previous crisis creates the next crisis, in 2008 the solution was cutting interest rates and doing MemeE(QE(quantitative easing)) now everything is all retarded and capital is fleeing to US stocks hence the US stock market going up exponentially
