Bond Market Sell-Off: 1 ETF I'm Loading Up on Right Now

Amid a global bond market sell-off with yields spiking 1% or more over the past year, the author advocates for a contrarian 'buy the dip' strategy on bonds. The Vanguard Total Bond Market ETF (BND) is recommended as an accessible way for individual investors to gain diversified exposure to 11,421 bonds across the U.S. market, currently offering yields around 5.14-5.5%. While BND experienced a -1.85% return over the past year due to rising interest rates, the author believes bond yields may stabilize and that locking in current yields presents upside potential.
