You need some stability in your portfolio... [Shield] AN OXFORD CLUB PUBLICATION [Wealthy Retirement]( [View in browser]( SPONSORED [A New Way to Own Gold]( Chances are that if you own gold... you don't own it the right way. There's a new way to do it. And thanks to a special meeting on June 14, I'm convinced this is the only way you should own gold. [All the details of why it's so important are at this link.]( Editor's Note: This video from Chief Income Strategist Marc Lichtenfeld might be exactly what you need to see today... In it, he reveals a way for you to [generate gains as high as 227% in four years](. Considering the average five-year return of the S&P 500 - which included a large chunk of the most recent bull market - was only 43%... Getting gains of 227% over four years - without having to stomach the ups and downs of the stock market - sounds like a no-brainer. If you're skeptical, consider this... Marc has never lost using this must-see investment strategy! [Learn how to land 227% gains in four years.]( - Rebecca Barshop, Senior Managing Editor [BOND INVESTING]( [Why This "Dividend Guy" Relies on Bonds]( [Marc Lichtenfeld, Chief Income Strategist, The Oxford Club]( [Marc Lichtenfeld]( If you've read my Safety Net column or my other work on Wealthy Retirement, you know I'm the dividend guy. I believe so strongly in the power of investing in Perpetual Dividend Raisers that I spent two years writing [Get Rich with Dividends]( to show investors why they must include this wealth- and income-building machine in their portfolios. I write about dividend-growth stocks here and in various other places every week. I invest in these types of stocks for myself and for my kids. So it may surprise you to know that I also own some bonds. I have a mix of bonds, including corporate, Treasury and municipal bonds. My Treasurys have extremely short maturities - less than a year. I basically treat them as a place to park my cash but earn a little extra income. My corporates and municipals also have short maturities but not as short as those of the Treasurys. I'll typically buy bonds with three-year or shorter maturities. Since we're in a rising rate environment, I don't want to be locked in at a lower interest rate for too long. Most of the time when I buy bonds, I plan on owning them until maturity. I'm not interested in trading them. Sure, if I get a spike in the price above par (the price at which the bond will be redeemed at maturity), I may consider selling early. But generally, I'm buying the bond to collect a consistent stream of income with the guarantee (in a Treasury) or near guarantee (in a municipal or investment-grade corporate) of getting my money back. The important thing to remember when owning bonds is that you get the par value of the bond back at maturity... no matter what the bond, bond market or economy is doing. SPONSORED [Forget Fusion... This REAL Nuclear Breakthrough Could Mean 10X Gains]( [Nuclear power station cooling tower]( A real nuclear miracle is about to take Wall Street by surprise... Because an energy breakthrough could 10X this $1 stock over five years. After a key May announcement... you may miss your chance at a piece of the action. [Get the Details Here (Before You're Too Late!)]( For example, let's say you buy a bond at par value ($1,000) yielding 4% that matures in two years. That means you'll collect 4% interest each year and receive your $1,000 back at maturity. If next year the bond declines in value to $900, that doesn't matter. Because at maturity, you'll get your $1,000 back. And you'll still collect 4% interest. The interest rate you'll receive does not fluctuate with the price of the bond. I like that kind of stability for a small portion of my portfolio. I keep my bond holdings fairly small because I'm still building wealth. I have years to go until [retirement](. Investors who have a lower tolerance for stock market risk might want to have a larger percentage of their portfolio invested in bonds than I do. If you're interested in bonds, I do NOT recommend bond funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs). These investments will lose value as interest rates rise. Individual bonds may also lose value, but at maturity, investors will get their money back. There is no maturity on a bond fund or ETF, so you will very likely lose money in a rising rate environment. It's important to note that your bond positions aren't likely to grow your wealth much, unless you buy bonds that are undervalued. You're not going to get rich buying bonds. But you may stay rich. Bonds are a useful way to generate some good income while preserving your capital. Just keep your maturities short while rates are still rising and buy bonds that are high quality. Take it from the dividend guy.
