Ok, we had an event. But life goes on. Treasuries aren't yielding worth of crap again. Where do the yield hungry people put their money ? I was avoiding all these high yield funds like crazy for the last couple years. But after this carnage there's got to be some opportunites out there. I picked up SGL and PCN so far, though honestly not the best ones out there probably. Anyone have any good ideas for high yield funds ? something around 8% yield would work. I think mopney managers, those who survived the carnage will start hunting for these funds again to pick up the yield. ?There is no other way. Would be nice to have a few of them in portfolio by the time the hunt for yield comes back.
