Anyone like JNK?
« on: March 21, 2012, 07:44:13 PM »
I took a small position in JNK back in February and bought a little more this month. It pays about 7% in dividends per year, though has fluctuated about 10% in market value in the past few years.

I wouldn't recommend it. Junk bonds have risk similar to equities without the upside return. You might as well just put your money into a S&P 500 ETF like VOO.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
