Let us know what you find out.

I was suggesting looking at the chart for the s&p and the junk fund to see if the junk fund has a positive, negative or neutral correlation to stocks. I haven't looked at the chart.
Others has stated, as I believe, that the price premium between junk and US bonds does not justify the risk.
I have junk funds on my buy list --- when the price premium warrents it.
