MONEY

The world is careening towards an inflationary shock.

As was the case with the beginning of the Housing Crash, few are noticing what's happening. And even fewer realize the true scale of what's about to take place.

Let’s talk about Junk Bonds.

Junk Bonds are corporate debt issued by companies that have a significant chance of defaulting (meaning they don’t pay you back).

Because these bonds are risky, they typically pay very large yields to compensate for the increased risk. Think yields of 8% or even 10%.
