By Scott Ronalds 2010 was a good year for both stocks and bonds. Resource-focused and small-cap stocks saw sharp gains, and both the Canadian and U.S. markets turned in double-digit returns.

Bonds were once again popular, as investors were willing to pay a premium for safety and income, although their shine began to fade late in the year as interest rates began to rise.
