Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
Most of my data sets go back to 1988, but I'd like to push my analysis of bonds back to 1978. Do you know of any bond mutual funds, or any other data sets of bond portfolios that go back to 1978, and where I can download them from? Thx! I'd like to see what happened to bond investments when the fed raised interest rates in the early 1980s.
