A_Hamilton Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Anyone have thoughts on how many bonds one needs to purchase so that they don't get their faced ripped off when they try to sell these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmallCap Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 maybe it is just me and my lack of understanding but I don't understand the question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_Hamilton Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Small Cap, What I'm saying is that if I buy say 25 bonds, am I going to get a horrible quote when I try to sell these, versus 100 bonds. How big of a lot do I need for a broker to give me something close to what an institution would get for these versus a retail holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEast Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Just buy an ETF where the costs are very low. Pimco has a 25yr zero EFT (ZROZ), but there are others. Cheers JEast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers JEast JEast, Thanks for the tip on the zeros through ETFs. At least from my initial understanding, ETFs look like a good way to invest into bonds.
