  • I would appreciate any analysis regarding this story... Specifically, what type of "forth" is the story referring to? I've heard "high yield bubble" warnings being sounded, but I'm unsure exactly what people are referring to.

    I've been a long term investor in both JNK and HYG and am looking for some guidance here.

    Thanks in advance.
