oooh okay, yep it is similiar to fidelity floating rate high yield.
if rates p/u and inflation starts to rise my proxy for my bonds fund portion would likely consist of fidelity floating rate high income , fidelity strategic real return, and fidelity short term bond fund.
Ack. FSRRX is hard to look at. It struggles with regard to everything I've learned to look at with regard to assessing the quality of a fund. Sometimes I really think sticking with Fidelity is doing yourself a disservice.
FFRHX isn't as bad, though I'll still stick with EAFAX.lw now that Fidelity is offering it NTF and load-waived. FSHBX is also not as bad as FSRRX, but I've got to believe that Fidelity offers something comparable in scope but better in performance for risk. (I shouldn't talk though: My short-term bond solution is limited by what's available in my 401k, JDTRX. Still, as mediocre as it is, it reflects higher returns at lower risk that FSHBX, but with higher volatility.)
inflation and rates have been falling the last decade so fsrrx has not had its time come yet.
when conditions are right it will do just fine.
i would match my 1400% gains with fidelity since i started in the fidelity insight growth model against the results of anyone using vanguard or anyone elses funds.
whatever happened to the weight of greece,spain and all those other countries on the edge of failing? suddenely that all fell off the radar. that was all we heard about everyday.

Yup. This proves a point at least as far as I am concerned. These countries are still in a world of economic hurt but somehow that was important a couple of years ago but not now. Even back then the ups and downs of the stock market made no sense. So Greece or Spain might have left the common market. So what? These countries have the total economy of a mid sized US city.
So what made the market jump up and down depending upon the day's news? Well at least for the short term we know the average small 401k investor does not respond quickly. The market moved based on the assessment of professional investors. What a bunch of idiots and these idiots continue to set the short term market results.
So this leads me to some conclusions. The market will always be fickle. These idiots are the same individuals and groups who successfully sell their advisement and investor services. Watch out if you use one of them. If you think you can predict the opinion of idiots that makes you one of them.

People realized, however messed up they are, it isn't the end of the world. I'd assume, markets anticipate they will recover.
