Yоu hаve been а lоng-time stоck investor аnd have done well enough that you feel that it might be appropriate to reduce your risk level somewhat as you are well ahead of your initial investing milestones on the way to achieving your goal for a secure financial position and retirement plan. You have never paid much attention to fixed income (i.e., bonds) as an investment asset class. You do some research and make notes on the benefits and risks of bond investing. Summarize your notes on the benefits and risks of bond investing here. Do you think your notes will lead you to investing in bonds?
