Long-term bonds are always better than short-term bonds

Long-term bonds may offer higher yields but are more sensitive to interest rate fluctuations. Short-term bonds, on the other hand, have lower interest rate risk but may provide lower yields.

Diversifying a bond portfolio with both short and long-term bonds can be a more balanced approach to managing risk and returns.
