Other bond funds I hold (fidelity bond funds) are held for at least a year and some are held for several years.
Pay no attention to the posters who are market timing and trading in and out quickly, UNLESS that's what you want to do. Posters who aren't playing the fear/greed game stay invested and don't whiplash back 'n forth.

Bond funds like Tlt should be watched .....Tlt had almost 7% shaved off its value in not even 90 days ...I own lots of it as of Friday when I finished buying in ,but you better believe I watch it
