Gregor: I removed all my investment in Fidelity's #455 last month. I held it for years and watched it clumb to around 13.50 yielding as high as 16% at times. When the market weakened it turned around and went down just as rapidly as the market. Before I noticed it, it was in the $12.70 range. I held on a little longer and dumped it all. There were no failures to speak of. It's just a highly volatile bond investment and when investors chose to run out of "junk" they don't just run, they jump. The sh price of near $11.60 should be the bottom, but I'm into Investment grade bonds now. Good luck. Angler

Gregor: Something else. If you are satisfied with around 10% return and less volatility, you might consider "ZTR". Check it out. Marty Zweig has about 28% in solid stocks, 56% in Bonds and the rest in cash. His fund trading on the NYSE always pays off between 9 and 10% with little volatility. His 800 no. 272 2700. I forgot about this one too in the portfolio but it only dropped about 3/8ths of a point in all this turmoil. I should have had it all in there. Angler
