Is anybody still in bonds?

[quote=DataAgent]Yes. I have a fairly large position in JNK (a junk bond etf). It’s current yield is around 9%.[/quote]

So I’m curious about this. As an ETF does it pay dividends? Or when you say its yield are you referring to the change in price of the shares in the ETF? If you’re talking about change in price giving you a current yield of 9% what time frame are you using?

Thanks,

JNK pays a monthly dividend. This month’s dividend was 28 cents a share. Some months it pays a penny or two more and some months are a penny or so less. You can reinvest the dividends or get a check. I reinvest and buy more shares.

I’ve been a JNK holder for almost 2 years. Here’s a Morningstar writeup:

We have a few long-term bonds and more short-term, but have been mostly out of bonds and in cash for a long time…just waiting (and hoping) for those interest rates to finally rise.

We’ve had so many head-fakes with interest rates rising over the years, but I’m hoping the recent rate increases are the real deal.

Reduced my exposure to junk bonds but I still have a position. I’ll liquidate it as soon as I find something else worth buying.
