In decision making on investing in bonds point estimates of interest rates labeiled as ''forecasts'' are often produced by human experts, who tend to overreact and overestimate future interest rates. Therefore; combination of judgemental forecasts and other forecasts (statistical, market, survey) may be superior. Bayesian decision aiding technique using normal distribution is presented to illustrate how investors may better combine forecasts and in doing so boost their chance of success.
