The currency exposure which is perhaps +/-40% of the portfolio is why I own it. Do you believe that the currencies of the commodity centric economies such as the Real, Loonie, Rand, and Aussie $ will strengthen against the US dollar? Do you believe the global economy will trump the efforts by the Fed and Treasury to buy longer term Treasuries and MBS to dampen Med and LT interest rates? If you own bond funds for yield are you reasonably hedged with positions in AGQ, DGP, PGM, PMY and TBT ? Are you amenable to taking anything off the table in an investment like MIN, should the share value rally in line with a market rally which may lift the value of the Corporate bond component of MIN? At 6.25 this is a hold at 6.45 it is a lighten up at 6.05 it is a buy. The long term chart indicates some relative share price stability, so being nervous about the share price jumping around is not of much use. AGG provides a very stable share price and a more straight forward investment grade bond investment opportunity for nervous personality syndrome.
