Total investment size is in the $10-20k range, and the portion of bonds I want is about $3-5k. Will broker fees eat into my returns too much to make a meaningful investment?
Currently my non-stock cash sits in online savings making 1%. I'm not sure yet what typical interest rates you can get for corporate bonds. I see Schwab charges $5/bond comission, and I can't imagine these get more than 3-4%, unless they're risky bonds.
Will my return after commissions be high enough to make it worthwhile considering the risk and lost liquidity?
Or if the info's already on the side-bar that I'm not seeing and you can just point me there... That can also be the case.
