In this bond tutorial I explain what kinds of bonds to buy in a rising interest rate environment. I explain simply how bonds work and why longer term bonds should pay higher interest rates than short term bonds. Now that bonds have competitive yields compared to many dividend stocks, it may make sense to invest in bonds over stocks. With the inverted yield curve signally that we are in a recession or soon will be, what kind of bonds should you buy? I explain what an inverted yield curve is, why the inversion happens and why it signals a recession. With interest rates expected to rise in the short term, what kind of bonds should you buy? I also compare the bond ETFs or Vanguard and Black Rock as well as buying bonds directly from the government at Treasury Direct. Be aware of the financials of any stock or any other investment before you consider investing in it.
