>>>I want to get some risk averse friends into some current yield <<< Best to offer them nothing at all.If they are really risk averse, they had better stay with treasuries. If anything goes wrong with your recommendations you will never hear the end of it, and it will cost you some friendships. I have many friends that ask me about such things. I tell them that if they did what I did they would never get a decent nights sleep. JMO...Jerome

Jerome has some good advice. That said, I would take a good look at some of the TE bonds: they have been knocked down on the ratings, but TE is really a lot stronger company than RRI, MIR, CPN, etc. you can get close 5.9% for 4 years, and close to 7% ytm on 2011-2012 TE bonds: bondpage.com (enter TECO in the top box, then hit find bonds)
