How to make good money on bonds (easy and fast)
In previous articles, we talked a lot about stocks and the fact that you can get very high returns on them.But only a few people managed to make money on bonds — and this is a very sad indictment of our times. Today, anyone who is mentally prepared to think through their own business and carefully calculate all possible risks can start investing your money in bonds.In this article, we will talk about how to start investing your money in order to create passive income that brings you a stable income.I'll start by reminding you that no one in the world can accurately predicthow the dynamics of stocks (or the suitability of assets for investment) without having conducted extensive market transactions and much greater "market analysis" than is currently happening.
