I put some money in short term, intermediate term and long term bond funds in Feb. and they were doing decent until about the last 30 days? What's going on? Does it have to do with interest rates or the value of the dollar or the stock market or what?

  1. patients,  everything will work itself out in a few months.  bonds are a low risk investment.  your doing fine.


  2. Interest rates have risen so that is part of it, however most likely it is the questionable credit quality of the bonds in the portfolio.

    The risk is back in fixed income...no more free lunch.
