The bottom occurred in mid-October 2023. Including dividends, BND has returned 12.5% since then, so you are 14 months late to the party. Folks that retreated to CDs/MM missed out on the share price appreciation of 7.9%. No way to know if it's "safe", but seemingly less downside than when the coupons were <1%.
We've held 20% bonds for several years but now are in the waiting-to-claim-SS window so are letting their share of the portfolio fall, which has been easy to do with stocks skyrocketing.
