I use and like RPIBX a lot--be aware, though, that it jumps around a lot: price changes of .5-1.0 % aren't uncommon. Like the above writer, I use RPSIX as well and keep it about three times as large as Int'l Bond. It's a lot more stable. To me, it doesn't make much difference which IRA vehicle you keep them in--if anything, I prefer stock funds in Roths, since (in theory) the larger long-term gains over bonds will be tax-free. If you're light on bonds, one tactic I've had luck with is to skim the "winnings" when a fund has a good period and goes over your allocated level. That both builds your bond share and keeps you from getting too greedy with the winners. MarkB.
