Ugh, those bullets are total shit.
Bonds are for older people (retirement age) who need very stable investments, and for younger people as a small percentage (15-20%, slowly increasing over life) of a diversified portfolio.
Right now I think you can get short-term CDs with interest rates that are highly competitive with low-risk bonds. I'd go that way, personally.
