PIMCO Total Return Instl Message Board

FWIW....I get one in every now and then

Thanks, I needed a good laugh after the kind of day I had

no such symbol fwiw

Thank you, I will do some research on them.

They're somewhat similar, although DBLTX is very heavily invested into MBS (mortgage backed securities)which doesn't leave alot of protection room if things change. PTTRX also has a large part of MBS in their portfolio although not nearly as heavily weighted. DBLTX has a higher yield than PTTRX,but PTTRX has had a better return so far this year.

Most new funds have their largest gains in return during their first couple of years, and DBLTX may be past that treshold at this time. I feel they're to heavily invested in the MBS. PTTRX seems to be safer.
