RE: Bonds. Muni or otherwise. When if inflation hits, the value of those bonds will fall along with the rise in interest rates.

Ideal time to invest in Bonds, is when the interest rates are high and expected to decrease.

Just something to keep in mind. It a difficult investment environment right now.

My thought is that inflation is fixing to go up. Democrat policies feed the need for a huge cash infusion, and of course, that means more dollars, each with less value.

And, of course, we need to account for the money already spent for the plandemic, thanks to our Chinese/DNC friends.

I like to keep my investments diverse, though at my station in life, I need to be working towards more income-based investments (bonds, dividend-paying stocks, etc.) and less long-term and speculative investments.

Short term, I’m thinking of some 6 month CDs or other cash-based funds that are very liquid. And, silver and gold...

I don’t want to slide too far into an investment strategy discussion.

Hard Assets/precious metals, real estate, stock up canned foods/necessities, and pay off debt. All good ideas right now.

There is no guarantee at present about actions going forward

We will be given $2,000 free money each that can be thought of as a hedge against the certain coming inflation.

There are some bonds called TIPS that increase as inflation does. I’ve never invested in them, just an FYI.
