We hear a lot about how our investment portfolios should have both stocks and bonds — because they typically move opposite to each another.
The theory is that when stocks go down, bonds should protect your principal. The problem? Every once in a great while, stocks and bonds both tank. For example, this year, 2022.
As of today, the S&P 500 is down about 15% since the start of the year. At the same time, rising rates have crushed bonds, with some down 20% or more.
So, what the heck are you supposed to do when there’s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide? Let’s find out.
Stacy Johnson and I are joined by producer and novice investor Aaron Freeman to talk about what’s going on in the stock and bond markets, what’s ahead and what you should be doing.
This week’s special guest is David Stein, a former institutional fund manager and the founder of Money for the Rest of Us.

A down stock market doesn’t mean you have to bow out. Our show’s panelists share different strategies for investing when the stock market (and bond market) are down.
While we don’t recommend investments, you might be interested in researching the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) mentioned by our guest. Here are the ticker symbols:
