Why Bonds Are No Longer the Safe Bet Investors Think They Are
ABOUT THE EPISODE
In today’s volatile landscape, the so-called “safe haven” of bond investing is being stress-tested like never before. In this episode, Bill Bymel breaks down why smart investors should be paying close attention to a market that’s long been seen as stable—but may now be quietly cracking under pressure.
Bill unpacks growing concerns from major financial voices like Jamie Dimon and Jeff Gundlach, shedding light on rising interest rates, inflationary pressures, and looming liquidity issues that could set off the next financial shock.
With institutional investors like pension funds and endowments feeling the pinch, the rush to offload low-yielding bonds at a discount is no longer just a possibility—it’s already in motion.
This conversation dives deep into how outdated assumptions about bonds are creating blind spots in investor strategy, and why due diligence around bond offerings has never been more critical.
If you’re navigating the secondary mortgage or fixed-income space, this episode is a must-listen to avoid missteps and stay one move ahead.
