Why does the Pimco bond fund, PTTRX, continue to decline? Interest rates are not going up, which is what usually causes bond funds to decline. Is it something to do with their portfolio?

or divident? On yahoo finance no dividend shows up. What troubles me that now the fund looks good but when stocks may rebound, the market demad for bonds will go down. Does a bond fund re-price its asset based on market price. I wish it would not do that and instead just always wait for maturity.

I have question about capital gains taxes concerning municipal bond fund investments.

I know about certificates of deposit as I have a few certificates of deposit because I have been investing in them for a while now. They pay me a small amount of interest each year. I report this on my income tax as interest income.

I am told if I invest my money in a Municipal Bond Fund I will not be taxed the same rate as interest income because this will be capital gains.

What percent will I have to pay on capital gains on my income tax?
What percentage is Social Security taxed at?

What about pension income? What percent?
