This is episode 139, tonight, Andrew and I are going to have a little<br> discussion back and forth. We’re going to talk about bonds, so I’ve written<br> three blog posts over the last week or so about bonds and the different aspects<br> of them, the different kinds there are and kind of the ins and outs of them,<br> and Andrew and I thought that too actually. Andrew thought that this would be<br> an interesting conversation for us, and he thought he could maybe ask me some<br> questions and see what I could do to help people learn more about this<br> particular asset class. This is something that’s not talked about a lot. It’s<br> certainly not taught in schools and most people are very unfamiliar with bonds<br> and how they work. And as we know, if you’re unfamiliar with something, it can<br> be a little bit scary or overwhelming. So we hope we can help illuminate this<br> asset class a little bit more and give you some insights. And if this is<br> something that you’re interested in learning more about, we’re here to help<br> you. So without any further ado, I’m going to turn over my friend Andrew and<br> he’s going to grow me with a lot of really hard questions. So fire away.<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew (<a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/upwDvB2NYSl5ppVF7rHyod9jSYkaw945XxvsRtgCb_FrO_dDmvxBZbJAfO45V0SgBqo7WNDs9uCHWdcLu_mbSJc1s_M?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=102.45">01:42</a>):<br> <br> <br> <br> I’m not going to put you into the grill, not today. Maybe<br> we’ll say that for another episode. Yeah, you wrote three great posts on the<br> blog, and I think if people hear our conversation and they’re interested in<br> getting down to the nitty-gritty, I suggest breeding those. You know, it’s<br> spaced out in the publishing schedule. But really if you go on the website,<br> investing for beginners.com you go to the search bar, you type in bonds and<br> you’re going to talk about several different types of bonds. And I think that<br> will be very helpful. So if you have like, let’s say you want and learn more<br> about municipal bonds, you could type that into the search, the search bar, and<br> you’ll see Dave’s masterpiece on there. These in-depth guides and those can be<br> very, very helpful.<br> <br> <br> <br> Andrew (<a href="https://www.temi.com/editor/t/upwDvB2NYSl5ppVF7rHyod9jSYkaw945XxvsRtgCb_FrO_dDmvxBZbJAfO45V0SgBqo7WNDs9uCHWdcLu_mbSJc1s_M?loadFrom=DocumentDeeplink&ts=150.58">02:30</a>):<br> <br> <br> <br> But first, before we get into all of that, let’s talk<br> about maybe why bonds are, what kind of investor would find it attractive? I<br> think not only, you know, I think when we think of bonds in general, but you<br> also start to think of people who are in retirement or close to retirement. And<br> there are good reasons for that because we’ve talked in the past how the stock<br> market over the very, very longterm, it’s,
