My wife and I are in the same boat, 220k in cd’s maturing this summer. I was thinking of cd’s again but now am thinking at least some in gold.
A very confusing and risky time.

The project where we live was developed partly with public transit monies of some kind. The idea was to create an urban village atmosphere. Anyhoos, coming back from “my” starbucks this morning I noticed an advert in the newly opened Edward Jones office on the commercial portion of the “village”. The sign was touting bonds of various kinds with favorable yeilds. Any thoughts on bonds, please? What’s the danger of loosing principal with bonds?

I held some vangaurd bond funds from 98-02 and remember making money. cannot remember why….
