At one point in my professional life ....

...I managed $4 billion of interest rates derivatives. I was and I am still intrigued by the meaning, implications, and performance of interest rate sensitive investments.

I developed some useful models to predict high-yield bond prices. I am not going into the details of why I thought they would be great. I have been recommending high-yield bond mutual funds and ETFs for some time.

Their performance has been spectacular (click on the chart to enlarge it). A picture is worth a thousand words.

I have explained in The Peter Dag Portfolio why high-yield bonds had a great chance of outperforming the stock market. And they did. By a wide margin.

Stay tuned!
