The Case for Bonds, and the Problem With Bond ETFs

I would like to comment that the PIMCO and HABDX both have expense ratios far more than Vanguards VBTIX. If you held them for 10 years than the return at 6% (about the that for the last 10 yrs) 6868, 6619 and 7783 in dollars after expenses. Even if u think the former 2 would earn 1% more than the diff is about 800 and 500 ( more) than VBTIX resp. But you would have an additional 650 dollar that youo would have invested (becos of lower expenses over that time)

PLUS the yield in the Vanguard funs is higher.

What do u think??
