>>At some point this presents formidable competition to stocks for investment dollars.<< Depends. Both bond and stock prices plummeting are reflecting deleveraging, more than any rational attempt to value underlying fundamentals (other than for financials, which should all be worth zero). >>Guaranteed yield if the company makes it, and at least the prospect of some return of invested capital if the company fails.<< Ah, there's the rub Stanley...its that "if the company makes it" part that's such a bitch in junk......especially in a deprecession (I just made that one up, catchy, no?).
