## Resource

You know that "safe" bond fund in your retirement account? It might not be as safe as you think. Bond funds can lose value when interest rates shift, and a lot of folks don't realize that until it's too late. Today, Doug Goldstein breaks down why CDs might be a smarter move for steady, predictable income, and how a simple CD ladder can keep your cash working without locking it all up at once. If you've got money sitting in a bond fund or money market and you're not sure it's doing its job, this one's for you. Four minutes. One idea. Let's go.
