I'm a novice and according to those I listen and pay attention to, Bonds go up when interest rates go down. There are just so many different types of Bonds that it confuses me.
Should I go for the 20year treasury bond or will that move less due to the fact its twenty years?
Is the play more for the 2 or 5 year treasury bonds as those will be most reactive to the movement?
Should I even be investing in bonds at my age (40) as a hedge?
I'm always trying to learn more and any help or advice, or even previous bond investment experience would be greatly appreciated.
you could check out pensioncraft or portfolio matters youtube videos on bonds - both are worth watching and will give you a good starting point. IMO designing your portfolio for diversification across asset classes is a very personal choice that you have to be comfortable with yourself.
