What do you think the biggest risks of holding DBLTX are based on your review of their holdings?

Without looking too deep, as with any low quality bond fund, if inflation/interest rates start going up the NAV will decline, a lot. If AAA rated bonds start paying better interest, the junk bonds in the fund will lose value. Or if the economy takes a big hit and some of the bond holdings default, that's another risk.

There's a reason it pays 8% and the reason is risk.
