I think I understand the high yield potential.

Could you go into more detail as far as the " high default risk"?

Who or what "defaults"?

junk bonds have a rating in moodys of BA or worse. very speculative high yield bonds. with a high risk of default. General rule of investing higher the risk the higher the reward. junk bonds are traditionally not suitable for only the most speculative investors.
