High Yield Bonds - High Quality Book from 1998

High Yield Bonds - High Quality Book from 1998. This great book gives empirical evidence to answer many questions. Quite thoroughly. Subjects covered include: Who buys high yield bonds? Insurance companies and mutual funds are the biggest buyers.... How big are default rates? Average about 3.5% a year.... How stable are bond ratings? About 5% go up or down in ratings every year. Most stay the same.... Many more subjects...
