Jacob, I consider you one of the shrewdest investors at SI but I think perhaps you are a bit too conservative on the junk bond issue.

Take a look at this Moody's web site, and particularly the Dec '01 default figures on junk bonds. The forecast for defaults for the rest of the year is that they will decline considerably, down to 7% by year's end. If the amount of money Q invested is spread out over a substantial number of issuers, it appears to this untutored investor that the risks incurred are reasonable.
