Bonds Vs. Stocks

Bonds vs. Stocks . . . or maybe perhaps this battle really is: Washington vs Wall Street . . . or how about, the Treasury vs the Reserve . . . . (I am taking that one back. That title sounds a little too apocalyptic) For this article we'll just stick to Bonds vs. Stocks.

Hi fellow Liberal Financiers, I'm here to talk to you today about Bonds and Stocks. There has always been debate circling these two investment options. Are Bonds the smarter investments or is Stock the smarter investment? Are Bonds more lucrative or is Stock more lucrative?  Here is a breakdown as to why, in the year 2013, Stocks are superior to Bonds. 

*DISCLAIMER* (Note however, no one option is mutually or exclusively superior to the other. They both have similar and different functions which together make a diverse and satisfying portfolio. Also, this post is in reference to the year and 365 day period, of 2013. For the year 2013 stocks would be preferable to bonds, this article should not be taken into past date or extended contexts.)
