What is your view on Templeton Global Bond Fund? I bought it on July 19 and the price has dropped nearly 8%. I thought Bonds should not fluctuate so much. Do you think I should continue to hold?

Should I bother holding, considering the current market climate?

This fund distributes relatively high dividends(?).

However you loose at least 1.4 % per year management/administration fees.

Then the share price is going down, difficult to predict for the future.

There are ideas/discussions of a coming corporate bond crisis also ...

I would discourage from buying mutual funds/unit trusts b/o their much too high fees. Also bond investing currently (as opposed to the past) has lost it's shine.

SIA - I bought 500 shares at $8 and left it untouched since it was dropping continuously. Is it advisable to take up the ex-right shares since the stock price is so low now?

Hi, I bought CQQQ since three months ago. Since tencent holds 8% of the portfolio and trump is banning tencent, is it logical to sell my CQQQ since the ETF going to drop in price?

Do the SSB prices fluctuate during the maturity period? Is it possible if I bought the bonds for 500$ then during the coupon payment period prices go up and down and I call sell to book profit ? How long is the maturity of these bonds? Thanks!

I bought a REIT at its peak price. I think i may have bought it when it was overvalued. I bought this REIT when i just started investing and this is my first buy. Now it is dropping non-stop. What should I do?

How much should bonds take up in your portfolio? I am in my 20s and would like to build a portfolio that lasts till I retire. Currently thinking that 30% bonds are good. Any thoughts?
