    D. But, diversify, dont stick just to bonds, unless you plan to retire soon. Look into stuff ike
    Fidelity southeast china.. I have made a 26% average return in the last 4 years.

    Fidelity Latin America.. 18% return

    Fidelity Canada. 14% return.

    So diverisfy adn do the research yourself, dont rely on stock brokers, they just want to sell you the flavor of the day($$ max their commissions)

    my 2.5 cents.
