Bonds may seem simple, but looks can be deceiving. In this episode of Capital Compass, we expose the ten most persistent myths about bond investing — from the truth about “par value” and premium vs. discount pricing to the real risks that matter most. We’ll explain why rising interest rates aren’t always bad news, why Treasurys aren’t risk-free, and how so-called “tax-free” municipal bonds can still trigger a tax bill. By the end, you’ll be able to separate market fact from fiction and make decisions grounded in reality, not rumor.
