[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]13:09 - you seem to be saying that long and intermediate term bond funds will be predictable, and not go down. That isn't what some news articles say. Next question: does the (TSP - right?) G fund differ? [/quote] No 13:09 is saying a long term bond fund may offer a higher interest rate, but will give you less predictability (i.e. can lose principal more easily). The G fund is different because it is like a money market fund with an interest rate pegged to med/long term Treasury notes-so you get the better interest rates without the unpredictability/risk the fund value will go down.[/quote]
