Defrocked,

So, the market, IYO, is wrong. Let's agree to disagree?

As for risk/reward calculations, perhaps you are heavily discounting opportunity cost. Personally, as I have earlier mentioned in this forum, I am aiming for a real return of 4-6% adjusted for risk. Since I have got way more than that in the past 6 years, I have an ever better margin of error now.

Greed is classless and so should be risk. I feel like puking whenever I hear old money claims that this market is going to ruin all hairdressers and the like. New era investors span both retail as well as institutional, BTW.

Just ranting ...

-BGR.

just got this from grants:

Junk-bond default rates hit a post-1991 high in the third quarter, Moody's
Investors Service reports. Fully half of the defaulting issuers are newcomers
to the speculative-grade market, having issued rated debt within only the past
three years. Not for the first time, a boom in issuance has coincided with a
downturn in judgment.

i love that last sentence.
