SAY HI ON SOCIAL! 👋🏼

[GreenVoyagerr]

Thank you Rose, love how you break it down soooo much easier to understand than 99%% people out there trying to explain the difference between stocks vs bonds

[alykaonashi]

As a child who hasn't even started high school yet, I'm glad I was able to find a video that could break things down in a way I can understand. This knowledge will serve me greatly in the future so I'm glad I've learned the basics now, thank you!

[mikehoncho]

The fact that this channel doesn’t have millions of subscribers boggles my mind. This content is absolutely gold.

[maddcrz]

THIS IS LEGIT the BEST explanation I've come across so far, esp for someone who doesn't have a finance background :)

[anag]

This is scary, I just thought to myself...my girl Rose hasn’t put a video up or sent an email!!! So glad to see you are back!

[jasonli]

I’m so impressed by how much value you provided in a single video, thank you

[ramanwahi]

I wish I would've met you 30 years ago. I would be a rich man today. You are an excellent teacher.

[ritikasharma]

I literally was thinking "I need Rose to break bonds down for me" and BAM, you did! Thanks Rose, you rock!

[Gleetzbapsang]

I love the way you explain everything. Not pretentious, not pushy or condescending. I started investing right after watching your Fidelity mutual fund video- thank you Rose!

[LiuYan-xxyx]

It is always good to have a financial plan. I work with a portfolio manager and fixed income planner in the USA. The fixed income portion of your portfolio won’t simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion but will provide legitimate income.

[alexperoff-investingessent]

I like the 007 intro! Great intro to investing in bonds! One thing I might add, is that if you're saving money for something big like a downpayment on a house or something like that, and you're gonna need the money soon, a bond fund is a great place to put your money so that it continues to grow, but doesn't suffer from the stock market swings. You don't want the market to crash just before you need to take your money out. Awesome video Rose.

[kaid]

Extremely articulate and straight to the point. Thank you!

[mathildesamson]

She is so good! I've been taking notes and learned more in these 12 min. than 2 years of taking Business Economics classes!

[LuaxonBusiness]

Oh wow, this was straight to the point and incredibly in-depth for a beginner lesson.
This was very helpful! Now I understand what I bond is!
Thanks Rose!! 🌹😊

[MusicKnowte]

your explanation of creditworthiness was made extremely clear with the argentine bond example
great video !

[piratedragon]

Clear Speaking, nice pace, informative, excellent! Thank You. I had a general idea on Bonds, but looking to diversify the 2nd half of this year a little bit. Much appreciate the content

[lisatheresa]

I´ve watched so many videos of other people ´explain´ but it ends up being so complicated. Your video is really straight forward and easy to understand, thank you :) Just subscribed

[jpbuna]

You're amazing and so are your videos. I stopped adding money into Robinhood account and opened up a Fidelity account since I started watching your videos. Thank you!

[Teannaschannel]

She is back! This video is right in time 🙌🏾❤️

[Vbabeszzz]
