$TLT $VGIT $VCIT $BND $SGOV
I’m getting closer to moving back into accumulating my bond sleeve.
I will use SGOV as a cash holder.
VGIT is still my intermediate pick.
TLT will be used once I believe the long end has peaked.
VCIT for my corporate.
I obviously won’t time anything perfectly, but that’s why I will be scaling in.
Many are saying stay away from bonds, but at age 51 and looking at market evaluations, I don’t see anything wrong with accumulating 30% bond exposure.
Even for young people for a period of time, I don’t see anything wrong with it.
The large institutions have already came out several years ago stating that bond yields could easily match the returns of the SPY over the next multiple years.
I’ve already placed both of my children and wife into a range of short to median term corporate and government debt.
Between their accounts they hold BND, BNDX, BGT, DLY, IGIB, KORP, NUV, VGIT, SCHP and SGOV.
My primary tickers will be SGOV, VGIT, VCIT and TLT.
