Hi Toof, Re: TLT long maturity bond ETF..................

I do own it and use 10% Buy, 0% Sell SAFE, 10% min of Portf Control min trade size. (10% sell share minimum, 12% share buy minimum) as my settings. Further, I cap the maximum cash buildup to 25% but today think it could be just 20% max. Here's the long AIM history:



In more recent times, to get a bit more activity, I have been trading 5% as minimums (6% of shares when buying). Even so there's not been a lot of activity. Last buy was at $117.58 in December, 2016. Target buy is $111 for 12% more shares. The sale before that was at $138.98 for 5% of the position.

The histogram doesn't show the accumulated dividend yield. Just price change and trading. Gain without yield currently is 34% on price and trading changes.
