Great post. Thanks for the numbers. Is there a site I can go to to see a quarter by quarter breakdown of the amount of money flowing into Bond ETFs?

@John – This is improved in posts now, thanks for the comments, I am now rounding by millions which makes it easier to see

@Andrew – I am actually unsure, I am probably looking to buy a high yield fund for now, I’m maybe a little late for the trade, but there still seems to be gains in there

@ Daddy Paul – Do you anticipate that rates will move up quickly? I just don’t see it happening in the US…will probably take a while longer

Daddy Paul, don’t you think short duration are really volatile? Better not touch long term bond though. Rates are way too low for the moment!

With interest rates about to raise the only bond funds I will touch right now are short duration and for right now managed high yield funds. I think High yield has 6-18 months left and I will be out of them.

Good post. I just discover your blog. It’s pretty awesome that you have such lists!

There is one bond ETF that I own:
iShares Barclays 3-7 Year Treasury Bond Fund (for its mid-term horizon)

There is one bond ETF that I am interested in:
iShares Barclays TIPS Bond Fund (for its protection against inflation)

And you, which ones are you interested and which ones do you own? Thanks for sharing.
