quote:It depends on what funds and etfs you are talking about, but don't kid yourself about bonds. You might not see any reported movements on the tape, but they aren't very liquid usually. During the covid spike down, munis and treasuries traded like penny stocks!
I don't like the principal fluctuation in funds and etfs people dump them on bad news that increases the downside.

I agree Big Scrub but I stay under 5 yrs and ladder ind issues. I also have other liquid funds so I don't have to sell into a panic. I do use ce funds if I go longer. I buy at more than average discounts and neg z scores only though. I also like to use cefs and etfs in bank loans like BGT and SRLN. Also EIC and bdcs like PSEC.
