In this episode, Jason and Jeff tackle the often-misunderstood world of fixed income to answer a critical question: Should you still own bonds? The hosts break down exactly why bond funds were decimated in 2022, the mechanics of the inverse correlation between interest rates and bond prices, and the vital difference between holding bond funds versus holding individual bonds to maturity. Finally, they explore why the current 5% yield environment makes fixed income a compelling wealth-preservation tool for investors looking to lock in their gains from the AI stock boom. 01:27 Soccer Versus Baseball 04:10 Why Bonds Now 05:36 Patreon Shoutouts 07:46 Rates Inflation And Stocks 15:07 Bond Crash Explained 19:42 Bond Funds Versus Bonds 21:31 Stocks Bonds And Allocation 23:26 Bonds Risk Basics 24:46 Why Bonds Now 25:30 Rates Perspective Shift 28:11 Fixed Income Case 30:22 Interest Rate Risk 32:18 Bond Types Explained 34:44 Junk Bond Reality 36:51 Bonds Versus Cash 38:30 Duration And Timeframes 42:32 Target Date Simplicity 45:34 Bond Selloff In Context 47:19 Yield Math Matters 49:54 Wrap Up And Disclaimers Companies mentioned: AAPL, BND, BRK.B, HD, MCD, META, MSFT, TJX Find where to listen & subscribe, portfolio contests, and contact information at https://investingunscripted.com ***************************************** To get 15% off any paid plan at fiscal.ai, visit https://fiscal.ai/unscripted ***************************************** Join our Patreon Subscribe to our portfolio on Savvy Trader.
