What effects do maturity and duration have on Bond ETF performance?
How important is each of the two criteria, and what are good ranges to look for?
Is bond duration listed, or does it have to be calculated?

Google is your best friend.
No disrespect but the definitions are concise and understandable.
Good starting point.

Alright, Google pointed me to some good articles about bond duration.
But what ranges of maturity and duration are appropriate for the bond portion of the Permanent Portfolio?
