Isn't the risk with any bond funds -- like Vanguard's short term treasury fund (VGSH) -- that their price goes down as yield goes up? I just checked on Google

I just checked on Google Finance and it looks like it has gone down 4.18% over the past 1 year and negative 3.72% over the past 6 months, so you would be upside down overall if you had invested in it recently?
- cheriot 5y agoyes, exactly, that's why I mention capital risk. Much less than stocks or corporate bonds, but more than an FDIC insured account.
