Default I just don't get the wisdom of investing in bond funds.
I was just looking at returns over the past 15 years, If you invested $1,000 in Vanguard Total Bond fund it would be worth app $931, today, after all interest was reinvested. If you invested that same $1,000 in Vanguard VTI, Total market fund, it would be worth $2,090 today.

As pretty much a Boglehead in investing I'm really starting to question the wisdom of investing in any bond fund.
