Bonds are a very safe investment, but useless if you want to be making money.
no matter what age you are, I believe that bonds are not interesting for you to invest in.
Corporate companies can lose your money, but they can also make you money.
Government bonds or corporate bonds, are a ‘I owe you’, so if they go bust, you would still get your money back. And since you have that guarantee, the return is also a lot lower. So if you are looking to invest your money to make money, bonds is not the way to go.
Yes, there are ways to make money with bonds, but the way bonds fluctuate in price, is so little, it is hardly noticeable for making serious money.
I know there are people out there, who disagree with me. Well, those are the ones who prefer to be on the stocks market, but do not wish to take calculated risk. and I get that.. for those people, I wish them all the luck, making money through bonds.
