I'd have to agree with deeno. Sure, there are plenty like those here that could do a better job than the funds offered, but it wouldn't work for the vast majority. I've used pencil and paper a few times just trying to explain the inverse relationship between interest rates and bond funds. These aren't stupid people, just no financial smarts. Probably a comedy show in there somewhere - Man on the street interviews, financial edition: "If interest rates go up, will your bond fund go up, down, or stay the same." "What is the difference between owning a bond fund and buying an individual bond?" "What is a bond?" lol!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evidently some are still interested, pulling funds from money markets and bumping their yield up: "Money keeps flowing into bonds. Industry consultant Strategic Insight says U.S. bond mutual funds have attracted $64 billion in cash in the first two months of the year, just below last year's pace of $68 billion over the same period." dailyfinance.com
