Should We Stop Investing in Bonds? Live Q&A

We start tonight's Live Q&A with a viewer's question about bonds. A viewer named Don asks:

I know you’re getting a lot of questions about “buying “ bond funds recently and I’ve heard you say you haven’t sold your bond funds. But I think the question viewers like me want to know is should bond funds be purchased now with new money? Or wait awhile for rates to normalize then buy into bond funds.
