They're not going out and buying one US treasury bond or Microsoft bonds or whatever it might be.
They're owning a basket of those bonds.
So like the BND is a world bond fund, is an aggregate bond fund, or you could buy just U.S.
Treasury bond fund.
That's going to own thousands of bonds in that category, and it's going to move up and down based on interest rates and based on the value of those bonds moving up and down, just like the teeter-totter you talked about.
But bonds have a place, just like a lot of investments.
They have a place in a portfolio.
And it's to do what you said.
It's to reduce risk or reduce volatility.
Now, that is a technical term that investors throw around all the time.
It just means the ups and downs.
It's supposed to reduce the ups and downs of your portfolio.
So it's great on the downside.
Bonds are great to have in your portfolio.
If the market goes down, you hope that the bonds do okay, or at least don't go down as much as the stock side of your portfolio does or the equity side of your portfolio.
However, on the other side, if your stocks are increasing in value, this is what has happened over the last few years, equities and stocks have increased in value significantly and bonds haven't done so much.
They've kind of stayed relatively where they are or actually gone down in a lot of circumstances.
So having it as part of your portfolio is having an appropriate allocation.
So it's not cookie cutter.
A lot of the time people decide their allocation, their stock versus bond mixed based on their age.
