Today’s live stream is a bonus podcast episode where I’m taking a deeper dive on this week’s topic: 5 types of bonds to own now. Right now, you can get about .28% on a 6 month CD, .84% on a 10year treasury, below 2% on most corporate bonds and even the 30 year treasury is yielding just shy of 1.6%. To say rates are low is an understatement. And it’s even worse in other parts of the world - in Germany the 10-year government issued bond is yielding negative! You give them your money to hang on to and rather than them paying you interest, you pay them for the privilege of holding it for you. Makes your head spin, doesn’t it? But don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater!
