    depends on the bond. short, medium, long term, and the type of business. you could lose a LOT of money. bond prices move with interest rates too. there’s a substantial amount of risk for long term, high yield, riskier bonds, but you can make money too. I held some vangaurd bond funds from 98-02 and remember making money. cannot remember why….

    A bond is a debt and we’re going through a major debt implosion scenario right now. I would avoid them completley. Your cash is very valuable right now and will probably remain so for the foreseeable future. Protect it from loss. The CPI is going negative and the US$ is going up in value. Where ever you decide to put it, just make sure you can get it back later on. That’s #1 priority in this environment. IMO.

    Why not just place it in one, or multiple high interest FDIC checking/savings accounts? You should be able to get 3-4%.

    Cash is king right now.
