What about bond closed end funds such as PIMCO Corporate Income ticker PCN as an example?

😅😂😅😂Tell us how you really feel about bonds. I love your channel extremely informative with a hint of sense of humor. Great content

[@sharonwinsmith]

Haha you know I like to tell it like it is! 😁

Currently 92/8 (S&P 500/ TBils). Agree with your points and dislike the return drag. I only hold TBils to slightly dampen volatility and dry powder during market crash.

What about the argument that those who are retired may need bonds to protect against sequence of return risks at the start of their retirement?

[@JoeSmith-jd5zg]

Interesting. When I began investing in the early 90s, stocks rocked. In the mid 90s I thought "Hey, all these talking heads are talking about stocks and BONDS." Figured I needed to investigate...after 6 months of study I thought "that's not a good long-term investment." Fast forward 25 years, still stick with my analysis.

[@sharonwinsmith]

Very smart! I was lucky enough to have a financially savvy father who taught me not to invest in bonds.

I only started looking at bonds since social media is brainwashing everyone into thinking a recession is imminent. I've missed out on a nice rally this year. The yield curve inversion isn't very comforting, though.

[@sharonwinsmith]

I never invest based on what wall street and the bankers are predicting. Based on history, when the finance people all start screaming about something that's going to happen - you can usually bet the opposite.

[@CFH298]

Can you speak on high yield investments like YieldMax products? Covered call derivatives and the like.

[@swb3248]

Do you need to differentiate based on a persons total assets and age? Definitely if you’re young bonds are not the right investment.

[@davidhammond10]

I would think Bonds are more for preserving wealth, not necessarily gaining wealth.

[@swb3248]

Do you need to differentiate based on a persons total assets and age? Definitely if you’re young bonds are not the right investment. I mean it’s no secret that over the long run stocks performed better than bonds.

[@lawrence4036]

Not even 5.4% (as of today) T-Bills that are state and local tax exempt investments? The tax equivalent yield is 6-7%.

[@sharonwinsmith]

That is a bad rate of return.

[@cramsa]

The returns are less than the real inflation/fiat currency debasement rates. You need hard assets.
