AGG`s all-in cost is low and more predictable than its rivals. In a segment where there are a handful of similar funds tracking essentially the same underlying index, holding and trading costs are the driving factors. AGG delivers its underlying index`s returns with precision and consistency. The fund also has a history of massive trading volume and tight spreads. AGG tracks our segment benchmark, providing excellent exposure to the US investment-grade bond market. Note that the fund employs a careful optimization strategy, holding just a fraction of the names in its index, a near-necessity among bond-market ETFs.

Is it time for a bond rally?Looks a bit like bullish divergence in the chart of AGG. It would surprise the greatest number of market participants if the long-awaited interest rate rally turns out to be a bond (price) rally instead.
AGG Short idea. Small ChannelAGG currently finds itself in a small channel. Look for a move to the downside.
SLOW BLEEDWho Trust the Federal Reserve...?? Their takeover of the Bond Market and zero rates is not without some downside.
AGG HAS BEEN GOOD BUT GETTING HARD TO JUSTIFYAGG dropped like a rock in the Mar Selloff...I usually get out too early but better than too late...
Thinking This Leg has ExpiredDid well since low of May 11, not going to stick around for the drawdown. If the market corrects, I think AGG goes down with it...
Pretty Good Run for AGGBought on May 11 (got lucky) it has been a pretty good run. Up leg, pullback, then up leg!
Equities may be taking a breather...bonds coming on...May see a divergence...but more likely a pullback in equities...
