Trendline Financial Monthly
  April 2011
Hi Everyone
Two months ago I led off with an article on investing in bonds, and the worry that interest rates could rise this year. I am again including an article on the effect of rising interest rates on bonds and bond mutual funds. There is more talk of inflation going on in the marketplace, which is ususally accompanied by interest rates rising. Think about how much you are paying at the gas station and food store.
Please review your investment and 401k holdings to see if you are in long term(20-30 year)  bond mutual funds. If so, you may want to start considering shorter term bond funds.
Hopefully by now you have filed your taxes and gotten your refund. If not, you have 9 days left to mail in your tax return.
Enjoy Spring.
