My portfolio, not surprisingly after years of following you, looks much like yours. I too have about five years of my cash requirement in short term Vanguard funds. May I expect Vanguard will hold many of its current short term bonds to maturity, and, if so, ultimately recover the "paper losses" of the past few months?
I'm a 70 year old who has been holding approximately 20% of my IRA in a Vanguard short term bond fund for the past several years in lieu of holding it in "cash". I'm tired of seeing my bond value drop but my instinct is to stay the course. Any chance my short term bond fund will recover from my losses to date?
