Making money from high quality, long-term bonds

Q

I’ve been a bond buyer for almost 15 years and totally agree with your views on laddering. I never thought it was a great idea, and I always buy high quality long-term bonds and hold them to maturity. I’ve made a lot of money with that strategy over the 15 years.  I reinvest the interest as I get it and it has worked out like a money machine. Thanks for this article. I always read the FMSbonds articles with great interest. Lots of good information in them.
