The reason Buffett called bonds dangerous is because the Fed has been keeping interest rates artificially low to entice borrowers and to help banks borrow cheap. At some point though the bond market has to revert to the mean or worse. Then bonds will lose big. If you own a bond and it now sells at $1000 maybe it will sell at $800 or $600 or $200.
@Dennis – Yes, and those are very good and interesting points:)
