A bond is simply a loan given to a company or government by an investor. By issuing a bond, a company or a government borrows money from investors who in return are paid interest on the money they have loaned.

Companies and government issue bonds to raise funds or cover ongoing expenses. People choose to invest in bonds to preserve the money they have while earning additional income.

Generally, bonds are low risk and predictable. Many people choose to buy bonds in addition to stocks to diversify their investment portfolio. Bonds can also be purchased at varying time intervals and can be seen as relatively liquid assets. Bonds can be sold on the open market and purchased second-hand if investors need the cash before the date of maturity.

As I state in the video, buying government bonds for me at the moment does not make sense. At the time of this recording and posting, four week government bills are only earning 1.7% while numerous private online banks are operating at a loss offering customers savings accounts that earn 1.8% to over 2%.

As of Oct 12, 2019:

VIO Bank is offering 2.27%

My Savings Direct is offering 2.10%

Wealthfront is offering 2.07%

Robinhood is offering 2.05%

PNC Bank is offering 2.00%

Many things could change in the future. Government bonds were earning 5% in the 1990s and 15% in the 1980s. So interest rates will vary in the future.
