1. Read and reflect on today's quote: Bond mutual funds give your portfolio the opportunity to earn income, unlike money market funds (which focus on maintaining your cash) and stock funds (which aim for long-term growth). When included in a well-balanced portfolio, bond funds can help balance the risks associated with stock funds. Bond funds can also help you keep pace with inflation through inflation-protected bond funds. These funds, which invest in government bonds, are routinely adjusted for inflation. By potentially holding hundreds sometimes thousands of bonds in a single fund, you get more diversification than you would buying individual bonds.
