Rick Van Ness – Why Bother With Bonds

Learn how to use CDs, bonds, and bond funds to manage risk/reward even during low interest rates. You will learn:

• How to choose your allocation to stocks and bonds
• How to become immune to changing interest rates
• When to use CDs and individual bonds
• How to choose a good bond fund
• How to hedge against unexpected inflation

This program is an alternative to my paperback book at Amazon—which is sufficiently complete if book-learning fits your needs. But if your preference is to have someone quickly tell you what you need to know and then how to build the bond portion of your portfolio, then this course might be for you.

This book is aimed at 99% of investors—ordinary investors—because bonds play a role in every portfolio. Investing is “simple, not easy.” You’ll find it fairly simple to understand how bonds work and the important role that they play. The important goal is the more difficult part: to own the correct allocation of bonds for your situation.
