Bonds Quotes

Sharp lines on credit, risk, and fixed-income investing.

This set of bonds quotes ranges from dry financial observation to outright dismissal, capturing how differently people view fixed income compared with equities. One line even jokes that bonds beat diamonds as a preferred gift, poking fun at how unglamorous the asset class can feel. For more on how ratings shape these opinions, see our Credit Rating page.


Several quotes here also touch on how uneven bond quality can be, noting that junk bonds in particular carry a wide range of risk. That variability is part of why bonds get called both boring and disgusting in the same breath, a contradiction worth sitting with if you enjoy our Boring and Disgusting collections.
