henry, if one were starting to build a bond portfolio, what would you recommend? 1. use of bond mutual funds up to a certain dollar amount? 2. if bond mutual funds, what fund families and what funds, in particular? a variety of time horizons? (i realize that it hard to respond due to different people's risk tolerance and time horizons.) i would be biased towards vanguard due to low expenses and pimco due to reputation. 3. at what size portfolio would you recommend beginning to try to tackle individual issues? 4. what parameters would you use to investigate the issues of various types of bonds such as treasuries, corporates, municipals, more esoteric instruments? 5. how would you buy these instruments? are they typically available through discount brokerages, and what are the symbols? are there good sites on line to track individual bond issues? 6. do you ever recommend closed end bond funds? anything look good here? 7. are you still negative on bonds here or at least cautious despite your natural bond bullish tendencies? tia AntMan proofsheet.com datek.com
