This may be off-thread, but...
Anyone care to comment on a guaranteed 4%-8% bond dividend vs AA? I have a good AA but my bond/bond funds have been outplaying my dividend paying equities for so long...
With consistent 5,10 and 15 yr yield averages of ~7% (and a meesly 9% drop in 2008) I'm wondering why not just put the whole basket of eggs into a few of the notable bond funds.
A 7% guarantee or -2% to 13% volatility? I fully appreciate AA, but sometimes a bit of insanity takes hold and gets me wondering!
