This once thriving blue-chip-turned-scandal carried a substantial number of bonds. When Enron’s dodgy accounting practices were uncovered, and the company eventually filed for bankruptcy, those bonds became essentially worthless. is caused employees and investors to lose millions of dollars and, tragically, for many, their life savings. With results like this, you can’t help but call into question the safety of bonds.

“Contrary to what financial advisors may have you believe, most bonds don’t carry safety nets. That is, if a company that issues a bond goes belly up, you’ll be standing in line with all the other creditors waiting to get paid on your bond.
