Sleeping with Short Bond ETFs

If short interest rates go down further, which some are predicting, then you will get a little price bump of SHV or SHY--less so on BIL or USY.

You must forgive me if I tend to write as if all accounts were like mine, were almost everything is in a tax protected account. The disavdanatage is that you don't have the freedom to move your money around into and out of savings accounts.

This is one of the oddest periods, financially, that I have every experienced. So much of what we expect is not relevant today. But, I think more normal times will return once the dust settles on the banking and credit crisis we have experienced.

Thanks for the comment.
