This week on Sound Investing...

Fixed income is supposed to provide just that: a fixed return on your investment.  But that wasn’t the case with bond funds in 2008.  And now investors are demanding to know why? Learn what Paul, Tom and Don want you to do about your bonds, and whether you need to change your portfolio.

The once-proud Fidelity Magellan mutual fund once had 100 billion dollars in assets.  But that has dropped to just 20 billion as the flagship fund lost 50 percent last year and many investors took their money out.  Hear what we think is next for this falling star.
