<description><![CDATA[Agree w/ you that ABNDX is a great Bond Fund.   It's been holding my other Amer Funds up.

I don't think it will recover 18% ( fr $11 to $13 ) in 2009... just too short a time horizon.   Mkt forces aren't going to work that fast. 

Let's discuss further as I have sig $$$ in ABNDX and would like it higher too.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[This is a great bond fund, yielding 7%, and owning A, AA & AAA bonds.

This fund will jump from $10.93 now to $13 up over 18% in capital appreciation this year in 2009 plus the 7% income yield.

Buy ABNDX now!!!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[20% of the holdings are mortgage-backed securities and 43.5% are corporate bonds & notes.   Long and short timespan maturity dates make it difficult to access a run-up or yield gain in a short timespan.   Maturity dates are the drivers for quality buys & sells by fund managers over time. This is a low volatility long term investment vehicle that will show decent sound returns as the world churns.   A 3% yield gain versus an 8% loss is a big swing...not a homer or triple, but a stand-up double off the wall! Monitor and be ready to sell [some] in approx. 1 to 2 years.]]></description>
