Is investing in bonds worth it?

[soumyabhatia95]

I am starting a venture of my own but running out of any future financial plans so do you think it is good to invest in bonds ? Should I invest or not ?
Suggest some ideas or your opinion on this.

Not really enough info to give a good answer. Generally speaking investing in bonds is good as part of a diversified portfolio. How you should be investing depends on your situation and goals.

I'll just say things about bonds.

First, the investing model is really old. There have been bonds around for 2,000 years.

Second, bonds don't perform as well as stocks. This is a pretty consistent finding for about 100 years and is consistent across all sort of historical contexts (war and peace, as well as period of economic growth and recessions).
