M*: Fantastic Yields And Where To Find Them

FYI: I've often warned against buying and selling funds based on short-term performance. Buying based on yield might be even worse, however.

Whether you are doing it on a stock, bond, or fund basis, the highest-yielding securities in a peer group are usually the highest risk. The market is awfully efficient at finding values in yield, so if something has a big yield, watch out.

Ted
