I Finally Purchased Some EDV

Don't hold your breath; I wrote them a while ago about the same thing.  No answer.

The Swiss Frac will ultimately be a wild card.  The Japanese do the same nonsense with the Yen, and it's continuted to strengthen against the dollar in spite of everything.  I wouldn't worry too much about it, but I would definitely get some long term bond exposure if you position in PRPFX is sizable.

The EDV has been smoothing out some of my PRPFX losses. Just as MT predicted.

MT for Pres.

Currently holding both PRPFX and HB PP in separate accounts I saw the light last week when the HB PP went down only a little and PRPFX went down a lot. Sure enough EDV would have smoothed it out so I bought some the next day.

Notice the  VWINX ranking. I have always thought well of it, own a good bit; outperformed PRPFX slightly YTD.

Another way to smooth it out (kind of) is to simply buy it on dips.  If it reaches a high and then pulls back 2 or 3 percentage points, just buy more.  

I guess that doesn't really "smooth it out," but it will increase your yield.
