Bond fundsters, beware these five woes, or face the wrath of Morningstar and those investors it reaches.

In today's "Fund Spy" column, senior fund analyst Eric Jacobson warns investors about five signs that a bond fund is bad: high yield, high concentration, high leverage, extreme differentiation from peers, and of course high fees.

"The presence of one of these factors might be rightly interpreted as a reason to sit up and pay closer attention," Jacobson writes. "If a bond fund flies multiple red flags, though, chances are that it's best left alone."
