FYI: (Click On Article title At Top Of Google Search)

While this isn’t a time to rush into bonds, holding a cache for income and stability is still a smart move.

  • Altogether, my portf. holds 37% bonds right now, of all sorts. No worry here, long term. I just X-Rayed my stuff. In the aggregate, my funds are holding 6% cash. Bonds: 22% short-term, 28% moderate-term, Long-term: 36%. A bit of a surprise re: long-term. "Not classified:" 15%. Some of these bonds are in my 2 balanced funds. PRWCX and MAPOX. The other funds are PREMX and PRSNX and SFGIX. None of these were mistakes.:)

    Hello,

    From my most recent Xray my portfolio's bond allocation was 25% of my overall allocation. Within bonds I am 71% limited term, 27% moderate term and 2% not classified. I have no extended term bonds according to Xray.
