Is it time to sell my bond funds?

[Stoney_21]

I have 25% of my portfolio in bond funds. I have a fidelity total bond fund and the TLT and AGG ETFs. they have been tanking obviously. should i sell and park it in cash? seems the interest rate hike is gonna cause the bonds to tumble thoughts?

I very much doubt it.....they can't give the stuff away ! Money that is.

Those who could use it can't get access and those who qualify don't want it.

So you have U.S and emerging market bonds. Do you have any European gov bonds?
