short idea: HYG, junk bonds (the corporate kind)

"Investors" are chasing yield, since government debt and hi-quality corporate debt yields so little. With stocks like the big drug companies at a dividend yield of 4-5%, I don't know why anybody would buy bonds of any kind. But...

Probably best to wait till it slides below its 200dma, or short in increments, as it's hard to know how high it goes before the inevitable crash.
