Ask Fear & Greed: Can you explain bonds in simple terms?

Listener Shalyce asks: Guys, can I ask a question about bonds. Does yield = the amount of interest a bond pays you? If you buy a 10 year bond at say 5%, does that yield stay consistent? Eg, you’re guaranteed to get 5% every year for the full 10 years? Join Sean Aylmer & Michael Thompson as they answer listener questions.
