Published September 5, 2017 at 5:24 AM EDT

Most people are familiar with the bull and bear markets in stocks but I would be willing to wager that not many people are following the ups and downs in the bond market. For example, did you know that we are currently in a 35-year bull run in bonds? And our next guest says that may be about to end.

Mike Switzer interviews Roy Janse, a certified financial planner in Greenville, SC.

After almost 20 years, Mike Switzer retired from Wells Fargo Securities in 2001 as Senior Vice President/Investment Officer and Certified Portfolio Manager. In 1999, he and his wife, Maggie, purchased and operated for eight years the Baskin Robbins ice cream store on Forest Drive in Columbia. They grew the store from a bottom-tier operation in the Baskin Robbins franchise system to one in the top 5% nationwide within three years, tripling sales along the way. While operating the ice cream store, Mike and Maggie received patents for a portable ice cream sink and fold-down sneezeguard they invented and in 2002 started Magnolia Carts, an ice cream cart manufacturing company, which they sold in 2013.
