I've been purchasing the bond ETFs in different accounts over the past couple weeks. Although too short to really tell yet, I think the decision has been a good one. Since interest rates appear to be declining, the bonds have been stable or slightly up, even after going ex-dividend.
For now, I'm going to hold on purchasing any more bonds and wait to see how the government shutdown affects the rates. If the EFT prices increase, I will just hold. If the ETF prices drop, I will consider buying more. In either case, I will be getting a monthly interest dividend which will contribute to our retirement paycheck.
