Bond Investing 101--A Beginner's Guide to Bonds

Most investors include bond ETFs or mutual funds in their portfolio. Yet do we really understand how bonds work. For example, when interest rates go up, the value of existing bonds go down. Why? And are all bonds more or less the same?

In this video, I'll cover everything you need to know to invest in bonds and bond funds with confidence.
