The teaser is really interesting, but the catch is $997 to subscribe. He refers to a billionaire who's getting back into the market because of the need for corporate funding and the high profits it will drive.

If you want to go in strictly for the juicy yield don't go for that bond or such bonds. BJBHX or JAHYX, junk bonds funds, yield as much as that with DIVERSIFICATION. Add to that durations of 2.5 and 3.5 years only -a much smaller interest rate risk-, bond mutual funds are much better placements than individual bonds. If you are in for a quick capital gain, this is another story. Great article as always. If you want to go in strictly for the juicy yield don’t go for that bond or such bonds.

I work at AT&T - I am a full time Telecommuter - fancy term for I WFH(work from home) and they will not pay for my DSL if it isn't AT&T. If we are in a AT&T telco area we can get free DSL and Free phone line as well as practically free cell phones. That is wonderful if you are in a AT&T telco area. If not - they pay squat because they don't want to pay a competitor. OK - I do live in a TDS Telco area so ..... if AT&T buys out UMC (which is TDS Telco) then I'll be in a AT&T telco area. It's little things in life... honestly.. M This intrigues me alot for other reasons.
