Thanks, Bill. It looks like VWEHX might be doing a bit better than the
indexes.
The reason I sold most of my high-yield bond fund holdings and bought
JNK is because you can unload JNK any time, whereas, mutual funds are
sold at the closing price of the day.
I sure hope you had a great Christmas and looking forward to a very
Happy New Year.
JNK went ex-dividend on the 29th and will be paying a sizeable long
and short-term capital gains distribution soon.
