It's a vanguard fund VFLTX. I will check the link you have provided. Thanks for the information provided and the discussion. Mutual funds are about the limit of my comprehension of market trading and mostly bond funds since bank interest rates have plummeted. I think everyone is searching for some haven for savings without taking on the risks associated with the stock market. Bond muni funds for states like FL, NY, NJ, and CA also provide tax exempt income for state residents and don't require the longterm commitment that individual bond sales require. I left Bay Co last year, but plan to return the coming year.
