Bonds Gaining Popularity: After years of low returns, bonds are becoming attractive to income investors as stock prices rise and the Federal Reserve cuts interest rates, making savings accounts less appealing.
High-Yield Bonds Outperform: While traditional government bonds offer low returns, high-yield "junk" bonds and actively managed closed-end funds (CEFs) can provide significantly better income, with some CEFs yielding around 9.4%.
