    o...m...g --- Eaton Vance Floating Rate has AUM of 143B?
    That's obscene! Why would they let that happen?

    I think that might be a poorly written sentence by M*. I think they're trying to say the bank-loan category has $143B in it, not necessarily EVBLX.

    After reading this article, I'm wondering if it is a good idea to have a dedicated bank loan fund as part of a bond portfolio. Currently, I own EAFAX (load waived) but starting to think it has nowhere to go but down. It's been stagnant for most of the year. I bought it for diversification of my bond portfolio and the 4% yield. I'm thinking I can get the yield somewhere else in a less credit-risky type fund.

    Good Fund. With Risk. Why not just by Profunds Ultrabull?

    I give up.
