Are Bonds as Risky as Stocks?
Manage episode 334109219 series 3249725
Pam, Terry and Richard puncture the myth that holding bonds in your portfolio offsets the risks of owning stocks. For example, this year, rising interest rates have driven down the prices of existing bonds. While this may not create a problem for investors who plan to hold on to their bonds until they mature, selling them could generate huge losses for those who want to buy newer bonds with better interest rates. What should bond investors do? The three friends offer guidance to help them evaluate their options.
