[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks! Good points. We do have an asset allocation "strategy" and divvy up investments b/w stocks and bonds, with a cash emergency fund in an FDIC account. 99.99% of our bond holdings are in index funds though. This little bond is one of a very few physical bonds that we have, I think. I guess I was trying to figure out, from an investment perspective, whether it's good to sell a physical bond when it looks like its value may take a hit if interest rates rise. But since the bond is yielding over 5%, and I will get the face value back at the end of the term, it seems like I should just hang onto it and reap the returns. As you point out, it's a relatively safe asset w/ a very good return. [/quote] Yes, its value only takes a hit if you plan to sell it before maturity-- that's the big difference between an individual bond and bond fund. [/quote]
