I understand stocks easily but bonds seem to be more complicated. A lot of people recommend owning bonds to offset a market crash but no matter where I look I can't find an explanation that I can properly understand.
Let's say for example I purchase a 10 year treasury (currently 2.246 %) and I have $1000. What happens and how much money would I receive overall (including interest) upon maturity when the yield goes up .5% and down .5%?
