[quote=partypup][quote=Aecetia]Hang in there partypup. I know you are a survivor and you will emerge triumphant. This might even force you to do something else that would be more to your liking. Things happen for a reason.[/quote]

Thanks, Aecetia. I think you’re right. Believe it or not, my next ambition is to have an organic farm. Not a lot of money, but I’m thinking sustainable food may be extremely important in the future. Plus, I miss being outdoors![/quote]
Good luck partypup. Your industry would be in worse shape if the 2009 movie industry wasn’t doing great.

“According to Hollywood.com, 2009 revenues are at $3.25 billion, up 16.4 percent from last year’s. Accounting for higher ticket prices, movie attendance is running 13.7 percent ahead of 2008’s pace.” What recession?

My prediction back in nov 08 was that high yield bonds, would be the best risk/reward category for 08-09. The bond yields had gotten to high teens. The closed end bond funds were trading at 25% discount to NAV, but low volume very opaque and no public research, hence for retail market the lazy bet was quality open ended funds –

Metropolitan West High Yield Bond MWHYX
Neuberger Berman High Inc Bond Inv LBHBX
T. Rowe Price High-Yield PRHYX
Harbor High-Yield Bond Inv HYFIX

They are up 12-19% for the year; Harbor fund has the lowest risk, which makes it still a good bet now.

edit:

“Junk, or high-yield bonds, which are rated below investment grade, usually post their best gains after a market meltdown as investors snap up deeply discounted bonds in anticipation of a recovery. In 1991, a year after the bankruptcy of junk bond powerhouse Drexel Burnham Lambert, high-yield bonds clawed their way back to a 39 percent gain.”
