某种程度上，由于股价反映出最糟糕的经济状况，投资者或许认为投资次贷债券更安全一些。此外，因风险更高，此类债券拥有相对较高的回报率，达到了7%到9%。在如今这个低利率时期，次贷债券或许是一个不错的投资选择。

    不过，话说回来，住房市场现在依然是一个烂摊子。欧洲目前的债务危机依然让投资者感到惊慌。如果再来一轮危机，这些债券肯定会变质发臭，但投资者显然情意承担这样的风险。

    In a way, investors may see it as a safer bet today since prices reflect worst-case economic scenarios. What's more, such bonds, because they're riskier, yield relatively high returns of 7% to 9%. And at today's low-interest rates, it might come as a decent alternative.

    Then again, the housing market is still a mess. And Europe's ongoing debt crisis has continued to rattle investors. Another crisis could certainly turn these bonds sour, but that's apparently the risk investors are willing to take.
