When you invest in bonds you are lending your dollar. Lending your dollar means to give your dollar to an entity that will pay you interest on your dollar for a specific length of time. The basic concept that bond investors must understand is how bonds fluctuate in value. When interest rates go up the value of bonds you hold goes down & when interest rates go down the bonds you hold go up in value. Today interest rates are being kept at very low levels by the Federal Reserve policies. There will come a time when the Fed will not be able to hold interest down. They are sitting on a very tightly coiled spring (interest rates), when the Fed starts to release this coiled spring rates will rise very fast causing large losses in bond portfolios.
