The Term Paper on selecting a Fixed Income Investment(s) will be due the week of 11/22, no later than Sunday 11/28 at 10:00 pm. Some ideas for the Term Paper could include picking an individual bond(s) or ETF(s) that you’d invest in today. Some ETFs worth considering include the following ones from Vanguard: a) Total Bond Market (BND), b) Total International Bond (BNDX), c) Short-term Bond (BSV), d) Short-term Corporate (VCSH) and e) MBS (VMBS). As you listen to the news, learn from this course, and read newspapers like the Wall Street Journal and Barrons you should start to form opinions on the fixed-income and equity markets. Should you buy floating or fixed? Short-term, intermediate-term, or long-term? Domestic or International? Should you buy Municipal Bonds if you expect tax rates to increase since the interest income is exempt from Federal Taxes? Should you buy Corporate Bonds and from which sector? Do you like Financials if interest rates go higher, or Energy, etc.?
