One more thing... Forget muni bonds. I work in the bond market. Yes, they are double or triple tax-exempt (depending on where you live), but they aren't paying shit. Junk bonds still pay a decent rate, but the default risk is even higher these days.


Orange,

some of these high yield funds are spread over 200 bonds.
I would think that would spread the default risk out.
some are yielding 8%.

definitely don't like the 30yr treasuries.

Some folks with a long timeline have an acceptable level of risk. At 63 years old, I have none. And besides what's so bad about 4+ % return guaranteed? Especially as you can buy a bond fund with 0.18% fees or get them from Treasury Direct with no fees but a bunch of personal record keeping? Greed may have been the basis of capitalism but will also lead to its ruin. As Lenin said," Capitalists will sell you the rope which you use to hang them." Have the last 3 years taught us nothing?
