Investing Battle: Stocks Vs. Bonds

At The Motley Fool, we usually focus on the stock side of investing – but bonds offer undeniable diversification for any investor’s portfolio.

In this clip, Alison Southwick, and Robert Brokamp, and the original man-behind-the-glass Steve Broido, talk about investing in stocks and bonds. Find out how they compare, why trading your bonds before they’ve matured is likely the last thing you want to do with them, how the economy affects the value of bonds, how to manage risk, some advice and resources for new-to-bonds investors looking to get more involved in the space, and more!
