My understanding is that yields are a product of rates? So if rates go up, prices go down. And if rates come down prices will go up. Talking about yields is something we don&#039;t actually see mentioned by the Fed. They talk about raising rates, not yields. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>So buying bonds now seems good for prices. However, if rates keep climbing, as expected, the prices will come down more. Potential losses if you need to sell sooner rather than later. Does that sound right?</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Do you have a few bond funds you like, just to get me looking in a certain direction? I&#039;m so lost knowing what to even look at. I&#039;ll definitely do my due diligence, but a starting point would be helpful. I&#039;ve invested in equities and equity funds for so many decades this is a bit new to me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
