How bad have things gotten? High yield bonds (i.e., junk bonds) were yielding something like 20+ percent in 2008. Today they are pulling in 5 percent or what a standard CD was yielding in the early 2000s. Are we really in such a stable market? We are in a period of exuberance and Greenspan can tell us how that went in the early part of the 2000s.
