EXG may work for some people who want to get income from capital appreciation and are not interested to invest in stocks themselves. As long as they understand what they are getting into and understand that 13% yield is not coming from interest or dividends and that it can go poof in a blink. Personally, I invest in stocks myself, so when I want to buy a bond fund, I am doing it to put my money temporary somewhere, where it will only fluctuate based on bond prices and will return only the interest/divies from the said bonds. So for me EXG is a total no-no. :) I kind of like AWF which was posted here some time ago though. Much cleaner as far as I see. :)
