Hi all,
There are threads specific to bonds/bond funds/treasuries but none seem appropriate for this particular topic, so here we go.
For perspective, my 401K makes up 52% of my entire nest egg. The AA inside of the 401K is 56/44. (Entire nest egg AA is about 65/30/5.) Options within the 401K are limited. (I can't trade individual bonds.)
A while back, I did move out of an age-based fund into a total stock fund (FSKAX) and stable fund while maintaining the same AA in hopes this would limit losses as bond funds unwind, but I assume at some point, considering the options I do have, getting back into bonds (via the only available bond fund) would be better than sitting in the stable fund.
This is my bond fund option: FXNAX
I've compared to BND and it charts pretty much the same.
Based on the bond/bond fund threads I've been reading, it seems this "golden period for fixed income" was somewhat predictable. Can we somewhat predict when it might be time to move back to a bond fund if the only other option is a stable fund earning barely 2%?
Thanks,
