Chapters

Investment-grade bonds and long-term treasury bonds have suffered significant losses, while the stock market has seen substantial gains. This raises questions about the safety and future of bond investments.

Shownotes Transcript

Bonds are down 20%+ over the past three years. 

Meanwhile, riskier asset classes (like U.S. stocks) are UP ~30% during the same period.

‣ What the %@#! is happening to bonds right now?

‣ Why are safe asset classes down double digits while risky asset classes scream upward?

‣ Should retirement investors consider changes?

‣ Are money market funds and CDs a better solution than bond funds? 

‣ And what might all of this mean for the future of bond investing?

I'm answering these questions (and more!) in this 2-part series on bonds.
