the NAV of a bond will certainly fall, but what you have to ask yourself is if you are interested in interest payments or capital preservation. Bonds will still continue to pay interest, and you can always add money into your bond fun to take advantage of lower costs, just like you would with a mutual fund. That way, as prices rise, you are getting a better price on shares, so when rates drop again (eventaully), these new shares will rise in value

What is the purpose of this money? Does it need to stay liquid? Is it for retirement? If so, how long till retirement? Does it have to be a stable-type of investment, or can it be in stocks?
