Be very careful with bond funds, especially those which emphasize longer maturities. Sooner or later interest rates will rise, and when they do, bonds will decline in value.

Very good point!!! And not understood well by the average investor. In a previous career as a broker, I had a difficult time explaining that to clients, especially those chasing the highest yield.
