When creating the PP, should you use the face value of individual bonds you already own or their current market price?
Currently long bonds with a high coupon are far above their face value.
What's the minimum maturity time for bonds to satisfy the Long Treasury Bond criteria?

Generally, you shouldn't buy a LTT that has a maturity under 25 years. You should sell them when they reach 20 years.
