| re: No love for bonds? Wonder if I should get out of VWINX. I've been trying to decide on a good alternative to that fund. I'm pretty heavy in there now. This post was edited on 2/5 at 11:48 am Reply • Back to Top |

| VWINX (Wellesley) is 60% bonds/40% stocks and is up 1.6% so far this year. Maybe I should be looking at balanced funds. edit: To Dewster This post was edited on 2/5 at 11:50 pm Reply • Back to Top |
| We own a lot of balanced funds. If you are going to go that route I suggest you look at GLRIX as a wingman to VWINX. HBLIX is also has a decent one. Reply • Back to Top |

| I am admittedly not bright on bonds. I have a just a little bit of BND and that is it. I need to read something that breaks them down in simple terms and then I can handle the complicated issues after that since finance is something I enjoy reading about. Just need to get the feet wet.

| We sold all BND, IEI, etc.....we still own VWINX and will probably continue to own it. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
