Quotes to ponder:
"Rather than buying the bonds of some country directly, which can be complex, you can invest in foreign bonds through mutual funds and ETFs."
"The global bond market is far larger and more liquid than the global stock market."
"Foreign bonds denominated in the issuing country’s currency (i.e., U.K. bonds in British pounds) will have an inverse correlation with the dollar."
