My last post was a way to corroborate the bankeronwheels simulator (which is included in the link you shared) and thus the commonly given "measures" of bond etf capabilities. I do not see reality reflecting the theory found in the many links you shared, at least when looking at the growth of the considered short 1-3years eur govt iShares, which grew way below predictions in a scenario of no interest rates.Understanding bonds and bond ETFs is a post compiling my favorite bond educational resources.
I believe that after carefully reading and re-reading all of this material, one should get a good grasp of how it all works.
Are you saying theory does not apply to 1-3years et bond?as part of a long-term "never sell" portfolio, for example for retirement, in which case the timeless intermediate-term government bond ETF is appropriate (unless one wants to speculate on short or medium term interest rate movements - not the Bogleheads way)
