Steve, Re: Bondz O Boy, a mutual fund question. Came up with this Process that I call the Power of Wow. For equity funds, I screen for those that beat the Index over 1, 3, 5 and 10 years (there were 14). For fixed income funds, I use the LB Aggregate Bond index and add 15 years to the requirement. There were 24 as follows: AIM High-Yield High Yield AMHYX AIM Income A Multisector AMIFX Alliance Corp Bond A Long Term CBFAX Colonial High Yield A High Yield COLHX Delaware Delchester High Yield DETWX Eaton Vance Income High Yield EVIBX Federated High Income A High Yield FHIIX (best 10 yrs 12.5%) Fidelity Capital & Inc High Yield FAGIX (best 1 yr 22.6% and 15 yrs 12.7%) Franklin AGE High Inc High Yield AGEFX IDS Bond A Inter-Term INBNX Kemper High Yield High Yield KHYAX Lord Abbott Bond Deb A High Yield LBNDX Merrill Lynch Corp Hi High Yield MAHIX MFS High Income A High Yield MHITX Nicholas Income High Yield NCINX Northeast Investors High Yield NTHEX (best 5 yrs 14.5%) Oppenheimer High Yld A High Yield OPPHX Phoenix High Yield A High Yield PHCHX (best 3 yrs 17.9%) Prudential High Yield B High Yield PBHYX Smith Barney Inv Gr BD Long Term HBDIX USAA Income Long Term USAIX Vanguard FI High Yield High Yield VWEHX Vanguard FI L/T Corp Long Term VWESX Vanguard Preferred Stk Long Term VQIIX As I classify them only Nicholas, Northeast, USAA, and the Vanguard Funds are no-load.
