If you expect to survive perhaps 30 years in retirement, your investment timeline is about 40 years, and if you have concern for what might be left for your heirs it could be much longer than that, say 70-100 years. The situation is different if on the day of retirement you take all the money and buy an annuity.I just wanted to avoid feeling like I was timing the market, since no one knows for sure when the yield curve will uninvert, but yeah it's pretty obvious now that I should just allocate my bond allocation for the short-term and take the "easy" money since I expect to be close to retirement in 7 years.Since short duration is currently paying more than long duration why don’t you just buy a 2 year treasury and re-evaluate in 2 years?
