I always think about our threads about JG's GMAC bonds and why they were paying such a nice premium a year ago. Not sure if GMAC would be tarred with the same brush, but it always makes ya think.

My takeaway lesson, that I understand many will disagree with: no individual company is ever safe enough for a buy-and-hold ER investor -- give me a low-cost tax-efficient fund any day.
