I am happy holding portfolio of bonds. Guaranteed interest for life of bond, ending with return of full face value at maturity. What’s to complain about?

When interests rates go down, bond prices increase. President Trump wants the interest rate to go down...and he usually gets what he wants.

Bond interest rates are too low considering Inflation and Income Taxes.

Just a way at the moment to manage wealth decline.

Interest rates on bonds are too low except for short term notes and guarantee is based on risk of payer.
