Millennial Investing Podcast - Bond Basics

Brian Martucci: Bonds do make sense for a lot of Millennial investors. He says they're less risky than stocks overall and their price swings tend to be less dynamic, which is good if you don't want to keep your money in cash. The benefits of bonds beyond the inverse relationship with stocks are capital preservation and income generation.
