Bonds receive rave reviews across board

Article Abstract:

The bond market outlook is positive as investment professionals cite an ideal mixture of slow economic growth, a tractable inflation rate and low, short-term interest rates. In this climate, the problem facing investment managers is the structure of bond portfolios in terms of maturities. A number of managers favor intermediate-term bonds because of political risks. Others contend that a barbell-shaped portfolio would hold out against interest rate fluctuations. Still, other managers prefer long-term bonds.

Can this be 'the comeback of the decade'?

Article Abstract:

Chrysler Corp is currently recovering from the financial slump it experienced in 1991. The company's common stock offering in Feb 1993 reaped as much as $1.78 billion which is beyond the expectations within the industry. Its 1992 profits grew by 26% with $2.21 per share on revenues of $36.9 billion. This economic reversal can be attributed largely to the company's improved credit rating brought about by the successful stock sale.
