You have to be insane to get into bonds right now. They continue to sell off like crazy due to inflationary fears. I would wait a week or so to see what happens personally.

December 25, 2010 at 8:45 PM #645416moneymakerParticipantIsn’t it usually best to go counter to the current? The expense ratio of VEIEX is rather high and it cost to buy in(0.5%) and get out(o.25%), it may be the way to go. A lot like putting one’s eggs all in one basket. VEMAX is the Admirals share version of VEIEX, higher expense ratio but there must be an upside to buying Admiral, also seems to be quite a bit larger fund than VEIEX, I don’t think either are a choice for me so I guess it is just academic for me. I’m going to try short term bonds for a couple of months then probably get out right before the crash.

What makes you think that there can be a crash? Short term bond yields are supposed to represent expectations of the average fed funds rate over the relevant time horizon. A crash would imply a major jump in rate expectations, which, to me, appear to be remarkably (almost unjustifiably) high as is.
