005 - How To Make More From Bonds Without Buying High Risk Junk

Bonds are an essential part of any investment portfolio whether you're trying to preserve its principle or generate a fixed income. But bonds tend to come with some unappealing tradeoffs like low risk but safe or risky and higher coupon payments.  We show you how you can make more from bonds while avoiding the pitfalls. You just have to know how and when to buy them. Funds are the alternate way to go for investing in bonds, but there aren't that many good ones.
