Fixed Income Areas to look at

    This question is aimed at the serious investors/commentators on the forum and your thoughts would be appreciated.
    Recently, I have been examing fixed income investments as I am still a little nervous about over exposing myself to equities. As I am sure you are well aware, the yield on Treasury Bills (an obvious choice) are now so low that the returns are negligible. In light of this, I was wondering what areas of fixed income might provide a reasonably high yield along with a strong rating? My background is in equites and am looking forward to hearing your opinions.

    Keep up the quality posting

    Cheers, I don't have any specific articles stored to mind but I'll keep my eye out for some.

    High-yield bonds feel thaw

    Two great sites would be Acrossthecurve and accruedinterest.

    I think that the prime government debt is overbought (US,Guilts, German bonds) but trying to short that is dangerous given the level of government intervention in the markets.

    Corporate debt would appear to be where the opportunities lie. Pocketdooz knows more about this market than I do. Maybe he'll post a few articles on here.
