Summary
Three additional insights to help you confidently invest in fixed income. First, what are the different measures of bond yields, and which is best? Second, how to estimate the return for a bond ETF or fund and how long do you have to own it to achieve that annualized return? Finally, we explore a bond type that yields more than U.S. Treasuries, has never defaulted, and has the implicit guarantee of the U.S. government.

| 0:08.6 | I'm your host, David Stein. Today is a Bond Investing Masterclass bonus episode. |
| 0:16.1 | Early this year, we released an episode that has been quite popular. |
| 0:19.6 | Episode 418 was a Bond Investing Masterclass. |
| 0:23.4 | What you need to know to confidently invest in Bond. And we covered many aspects of Bond |
