I looked at the small pile of groceries on the conveyor belt. “How on earth is this $75?” A lot of us are feeling that way today as prices go through the roof. And I’m one of the lucky ones — for me it’s just an annoyance. But for many…

The Problem Bonds are a big part of many investors’ portfolios. But yields today are close to nonexistent. Since 2009, rates have been at or below the rate of inflation. Two bond funds I own pay 1.88% and 1.45% respectively. Inflation is currently running at about 4.8%. This means I’m…
