QUOTE(CommodoreAmiga @ Nov 17 2022, 03:09 PM) Yes, but your bond can take out or not? Interest rate going to be same by next year. Why bother with bond if same rates i can get with FDs? Interest rate might go down in a year or two, bringing FD rate down as well. You lock the interest in MGS until maturity. N if interest rate drop, you can sell the bond before maturityfor some capital gains. But u take risk if interest rate go higher.

QUOTE(onepunch369 @ Dec 13 2022, 03:50 PM) Can we lose capital from bonds? If you hold to maturity, then its only if the issuer defaults. So make sure you study the issuer and the rating of the issuer.If you sell before maturity, then you sell based on what the market value is, which could result in capital loss. |
