Why it's a 'great time' to enter the bond market

Interested in navigating the bond market? F/m Investments senior portfolio manager and US Benchmark Series Co-Founder Pete Baden joins Wealth to his insights on bond investing strategies.
Amid uncertainty surrounding the Federal Reserve's rate-cutting timeline, Baden notes there are "echoes of higher for longer." However, with rate cuts still on the horizon, he suggests this is "a great time" to enter the bond market, calling it "a second opportunity" to secure yields and lock them into portfolios to "generate income that will support you going for years forward."
When it comes to different bond types, Baden explains that US Treasury Bonds are "considered safe" and provide refuge during wars and recessions. As for corporate bonds, these investment-grade securities track companies' ability to make interest payments. They typically perform well during economic strength, but Baden cautions, "You don't necessarily want to be in high-yield bonds if you think the economy's not going to do well because those companies are usually the first ones to really show the pressure of a declining economy."

Let me state this! In the summer of 2011, I was fed up with the stock market. I had been in the stock market since 1995 and had made nothing! The bond people had down graded bonds because of the nation debt, and I got a big goose egg again! My portfolio was worth the same as 1995! I sold all my stocks and bought a mutual fund income fund, and thought, I do not have to play the game any longer, and I will be satisfied with an average of 3 to 4 percent annual!!! In 2021 I found out that the bond market was just as volital as the stock market! The national debt had more than doubled since 2011 and no one in the bond world noticed even when bonds were down graded again! I have made absolutely nothing since 2021 and my portfolio is worth less than it was in 2021! I do not kno the exact number I have paid management but I’m sure it is $100k! I will not name the fund becsuse I’m so broke I can not afford an attorney! I’m only telling u this because it is the truth and hopefully investors can learn from this before they find themselves in the same situation!

the yield on bonds have decreased especially on the long end (30 and 10 Y) indicating that the demand is still there even if the supply remains huge showing a preference for safety. I'm still at a crossroad regarding whether or not to liquidate my $138k

These youtube bots are getting out of control.

I am tired of hearing and reading about an incoming while people keep profiting from this circle. The election and end-of-year market boost have me really pumped. If you had $80, 000 right now, what hidden gems would you invest in? I’m aiming to set myself up for a strong financial year in 2025.

The question shouldnt be that, because a percentage of our portfolio should allways be in bonds. The question should instead be: "Is now the time to go longer or shorter maturity"?? I dont think rates will lower that much more. Supply is bigger than demand. I wouldnt go more than 3 years duration

Oh my gosh, they are totally dumping bonds. Crack heads make more sense than this guy.

[GeorgeSchneider]

Buy because when it starts to go down, we may never see such yields 🤷‍♂️

TLT can be choice for long term investors, in stock compounding is biggest weapon

US savings accounts should be paying more interest then what bonds are.
You would be a fool to let go of your money for 30 years just for a 5% return .

!!I recently sold some of my long-term position and currently sitting on about 250k, do you think Nvidia is a good buy right now or I have I missed out on a crucial buy period, any good stock recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.

The market trend can turn around very quickly. In fact, the indexes often switch from a bear market to a bull market when the news is at its worst and the mood of investors is at its lowest point. I read an article of people that grossed profits up to $150k during this crash, what are the best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist?

I've been quite unsure about investing in this current market, but at the same time, I feel it's the best time to get started. I heard some guy speaking about making over a million dollars from a $300k capital, and I'm driven to ask what skillset and strategy can generate such profit?
