Return To Bonds FAQ Archive   How do you get started investing? Answered By Editor Investing in bonds and doing it right may mean financial independence. It would also mean financial loss if you don't do it right. Here are a few steps you should remember before you start investing in bonds: - Firstly, you should determine if the bond you are planning to invest on will fit your investment objective. This means that you should know how much income you will earn and also the safety of principal. - Secondly, you should buy bonds at different maturity levels, also known as laddering. For example, if you're planning to buy 5 bonds, you should buy each bond with different maturity levels, like a year apart. - The next step in investing in bonds is diversification. Bonds provide diversification to your holdings. A simple way to put it is when bond prices go up, stock goes down and vice versa. - Lastly, you should also determine the risk involved when investing in bonds. The longer the term of the bond the riskier it is but has higher returns. If you are sure that a certain kind of long-term bond will produce a lot of income, you should invest in it. If you are not, then you should invest in shorter term bonds. keywords: Bond | Bonds | Financing | Stocks | Investment | Investing Bond Credit Exempt Tax
