Glad to see this. I have been buying individual bonds to hold to maturity, it seemed simple and safe. As you say, so many people talk about funds, I was wondering if I was doing something wrong. Besides the slightly higher risk of default, which can be pretty much controlled, the only risk is having the bond called so you have to reinvest the funds.

[middletownman]

I like the bond ETFs because I can jump out of them in an instant and back into stocks at a moment's notice without penalty, am I missing something here?

[maxshiraz]

Agreed. Bond funds over-complicate, and add risk, to what should be simple fixed interest

[richardhead]

What do you do when your high interest rate bond gets called when rates are low, and you can’t replace the income as a result?

[SurfCityBill]

Buying individual bonds work if you plan to keep them, but if you are 60 do you really want a bond that matures in 20 or 30 years? I don't. How easy is it to find a buyer for a bond? I want something easy to sell like a bond mutual fund or ETF.

[ChildofGod]

question: will I lose $ with ishares termed treasury ETFs if held to maturity? Example IBTH

[solomon]

What do you think about a ladder of fixed maturity bond ETFs timed to when you need the money, such as for RMDs?

[jimmattson]

My portfolio is loaded with 7+10 year treasuries. I get income every month. About 25% also in SGOV(tbill ETF). I play a little bit in stocks. Nothing to loose sleep about. 👍

[joelawless]

Great job breaking that down for the novice here, Bond Guy!

[miken]

I buy mostly individual bonds and i TRADE bond ETFs, especially during roller coaster period on 10yr rates, bond ETFs have inverse relationship with 10yr rate. So i buy ETFs when rates goes high, sell when rate drops and ETF rises in value. A change of .3% drop in 10yr yield could produce a 5% gain in a bond ETF.

[Jhippo]

Absolutely. They don’t want people to know this

[gnvsemxnq]

Tks great video.
For non-US citizen, which way or bond/bond fund have zero withholdimg tax ? Bond yields rcvd are su ject to 30% withholdimg tax. Us gov bonds or etf have zero withholdimg tax ?

[SecondActswithMarco]

Bonds vs CDs video would be grest. Thanks

[richardhead]

Buy the fund at high rates, and you don’t have to do it again and again.

[Chris-bmqd]

0:04 Such basic information. So dumb to say Wall St. "doesn't want you to know".

[lynnjohnson]

There is more risk to this than what he indicates! I invest in a high quality bond income fund and my portfolio has less money now than it did in Jan of 21! Be careful!

[danbrown]

It would be great if you did a video to debunk this video that suggests Bonds are a bad idea
