High yield bonds taking a bit of a beating as are high grade corporates. I think this is part of the aftermath of JP Morgan attempting to get out of the trade. This may continue for a while. I had recently reduced my exposure to corporates arguing that the expected return was not high enough. At least that was a good call (wiping my brow). The stocks I have purchased have not been so kind. But, I will hold to my thesis that stocks offer better value over the long term. If we see a pull back to where high yield bonds are offering 7-8% over treasuries, probably about a 15% price correction in HYG, then I would change my mind.
