Each time stocks rallied through year-end as whatever fears had gripped investors abated. The average four-month gain in those instances was 11%. But even if this year makes it a perfect nine for nine, bonds could do well too. So listen to your gut. Bonds are a great choice if you're worried--and you won't feel sick if stocks lift off without...
