How long have you had them? I can see if you had them prior to 2012 they would be doing ok. But if you bought after 2012 (especially between 2012-2014, they would have done pretty bad. And aren’t you worried with a pending rise in interest rates?

I’ve been slowly pulling out of long term bonds. The only bond related funds I have left are Vanguard CA- tax except muni bonds (intermediate term). They aren’t doing that well. I’m averaging around 2.5% fed and state tax exempt, which is the same as my mortgage. The long term was doing about 3.5% fed and state tax exempt, but only because I’ve been in them for a long time (before the rise and fall of bonds).

I missed the boat on bonds. They have done well if you started out about 8 years ago.

I guess this goes back to the thread about finding an investment that beats the average rate of return of one’s mortgage.

I don’t know. I don’t think even if someone were able to buy into BBN right now, that they would be looking at the great returns it did have from the past decade. Thoughts?
