iShares iBoxx $ High Yid Corp Bond (ETF) (HYG): 5 Common 'Junk' Bond Investing Mistakes - Seeking Alpha

Here is a great article by Ted Barac about bond investing.  Owning individual bonds may be attractive for some people,  but owning bond funds like JNK, HIX, and PHT are what I like to do.  These stocks also pay monthly dividends.  You must be aware of stock market crashes, though, because these stocks will fall with the general market.  Currently, we are not in danger of a great fall in stocks. Whenever the ten-year treasury bond starts yielding 4%, it may be time to switch to cash and government bonds because that is usually when a recession is on the way.
