MB - (...Nothing, and I mean nothing, sells like very high yield, no matter how risky...) If you send me $100K, I will send you a custom 6 year bond with a 15% annual yield. This has the added advantage of having a net negative tax rate as you can claim both return of principal _and_ non-return of principal. Larger tax benefits can be arranged upon request. -g- Regards, Don

Hi Mike; What ever they are doing is a little over my head, but it gives me the feeling not all is well in the land of bonds. If they lose money ( and many of them are ) isn't that going to come home to stocks in time ? Seems I remember some years ago the market did a big belly bust and it was largely due to junk bonds going kaput ? I was not really into the market at the time, I had some friends that took a beating, but my memory could be serving me badly. Jim
