Welcome to a new week and a new theme here on the One Minute Retirement Tip! 

This week’s theme is 5 types of bonds to own now. With interest rates so low, you might be frustrated with the low yields and low income you can get these days from bonds. 

Right now, you can get about .28% on a 6 month CD, .84% on a 10year treasury, below 2% on most corporate bonds and even the 30 year treasury is yielding just shy of 1.6%. 

To say rates are low is an understatement. And it’s even worse in other parts of the world - in Germany the 10-year government issued bond is yielding negative! You give them your money to hang on to and rather than them paying you interest, you pay them for the privilege of holding it for you. Makes your head spin, doesn’t it?

But don’t throw out the baby with the bathwater!

Because there are still opportunities that exist for owning bonds today. So this week, I’ll talk about 5 types of bonds that I’ve been buying for my clients to help provide income and stability to their portfolio in order to help you make better decisions when buying bonds in your own portfolio. 

That’s it for today, but before you go...If you haven’t already left a review for the One Minute Retirement Tip, please consider leaving an honest review in Amazon or Apple Podcasts. I read them all, so feel free to leave any feedback or topic suggestions there too. 

Thanks for listening. My name is Ashley Micciche and this is the One Minute Retirement Tip.
