krl_the_gui...,
Just read your posts and I like what you say. I lucked out and got into the short term corp and the high yield corp.funds back in January. This is my 1st experience with bonds during the 20 years I've been trading stocks (and holding a core position of "blue chips" like IBM and PM). The Feds stated , approx. 1 hour ago, that rates would not go up. That should bode well for these 2 bond funds, esp. if the corporate quarterly reports remain fairly positive.Right? I am a little bit leary of dollar cost averaging into STX and EHX, as I have been doing on a constant basis, building up a large position now. I have been extremely happy with my total return, compared to the Prime MM, where I previously had all my "non-stock" assets....but I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.
