I checked my bond performance from 1/1/2013. It doesn't gain for sure, but it doesn't drop much either. why? They shift all the bond to near term bond? Everybody seems to avoid bond for a while.

What's in the fund, what kind of bonds? I'm looking at TLT and it's come down quite a bit but that's more intermediate term I guess. Looking at something like CSJ which is a short term fund it's not down that much.
In the end we retain from our studies only that which we practically apply.
