High Yield and Preferreds Soar

As stocks continue to rally, two other asset classes that have been doing very well lately are non-investment grade (junk) bonds and preferreds.  Below are six-month price charts of the Peritus High Yield Bond ETF (HYLD) and iShares S&P US  Preferred Stock ETF (PFF).  As shown, both have basically gone parabolic over the last few weeks, making new 52-week highs on a daily basis.
