For this week discussion you will be using

Choose one company from the list of “Most Active Investment Grade Bonds” or “Most Active High Yield Bonds”. Do not choose from “Most Active Convertible Bonds”

In your initial response you should answer the question: If you are an investor who is looking for a bond to invest to, are you going to buy a bond that you chose? You should develop a specific recommendation, with supporting rationale to explain your answer.

In your responses to other students you should answer the question: Would you prefer to buy the bond issued by the company chosen by another student? You should develop a specific recommendation, with supporting rationale to explain your answer.

Answer 1

Looking at the economy, the US Government bonds yields have slightly risen. In such a case, it makes sense to invest in a bond that's trading at a discount.

The investment will be less; the probable profit in the event of an upswing will.also be higher.
