027 - Why Now Is NOT The Time To Buy Bonds Despite Expert Advice

Episode 27 Published 2 years, 5 months ago
Description

Investing "experts" and the media have been pushing everyone to buy bonds. But that makes no sense to us because it's so hard to find good undervalued bonds right now. 

We only buy bonds when they're depreciated well below their Par Value. And almost everything we're seeing right now is close to Par or above. 

To us that signals the time to get out of bonds which is exactly what we've started doing. We bought our bonds 6 months to over a year ago and have made some pretty amazing profits. 

As bond opportunities are drying up, we don't want you to lose money trying to get into them now. 

But if you really want some bond-type assets in your portfolio, here are a few options that are decent and are currently undervalued. 

Bonds

  • Pemex Bonds
  • Petroleos Mexicanos


Bond ETFs

  • MFHVX
    CRDOX


Bond Close Ended Funds

  • DSL
  • DLY
  • PDI
  • PDO


Foreign Bond Close Ended Funds

  • AWF
  • EMB


Municipal Bonds

  • NEA
  • NAD
  • NZF
