    Interesting to see Marc Faber's prediction of a consumer slowdown. As I say in "Bearwatch":

    That may reduce the monthly trade deficit for a while, but won't turn it into a surplus. China's ultra-low wage costs, combined with what seems to be very loose enforcement of intellectual property rights, are still set to hollow out Western industrial production of all kinds, as James Kynge's book makes abundantly and frighteningly clear.

    It's all very well finding ways for individual investors to benefit, but if you haven't got spare money to invest, you can't back the winner in this unequal contest. Without some degree of prosperity, what real peace will our countries have? I'd like to see a credible national economic plan from our politicians.

    PFN is leveraged about 38%. I've owned 2k shares for a long time and was thinking about shedding some shares but its sister fund PFL trades at an even higher premium, lower yield. Risks are if the Fed cut rates since their portfolios are all securities tied to LIBOR + a percentage. The securities are typically in a Senior position but are usually not very liquid compared to corporate bonds. But unlike corporate bonds, when interest rates go up, so does their income which more than offsets their borrowing costs. Reply

    How can PFN yield 8.9%? I assume it's leveraged. It would be interesting to know by how much and what the risks are. Reply
