Can someone please explain why a bond fund should be considered. If I invest $1000 NOW, sure I will earn intrest but if interest rates go up my share price goes down, cancelling any gains I get from the higher yield. It seems you are just betting on interest rates to go down? Why would I risk putting money in a short term bond fund that is yielding 5.7% when interest rates can rise and wipe out my gains when I can put it in money market earning 5.2% risk free? Or am I to just do the ol dollar cost averaging and hope for the best.
