Isn't treasury bills a kind of bond?

If the coupon is set from the beginning,then what is the talk about changing interests rate as regards bonds?

Thanks in advance. How is it that some
Nobody is talking about changing coupon rates. It was just a discussion on how inflation rate can affect coupon rate set by the issuer. Tb is also a debt instrument. Difference is it's one year or less and there is no coupon.
So it's always issued at a discount- this is how profit is made. So there are Treasury bills & there are bonds.
BusinessRe: Bonds Investment, How Does It Really Work In Practice? by being(m): 8:43pm On Feb 05, 2017
@ illuminated 93: But note that the coupon rate doesn't change. Remember the dictionary meaning of a bond!
Once you as the issuer set the coupon rate, you can't change it till maturity.
Then you didn't talk about the gain due to issuing at a discount- read what I wrote about ds.

Pple make moni from bonds and tbs. Banks make a lot from ds. Pension fund administrators & asset management firms make most of deir revenue from bonds & tbs.
I would rather invest in a TB though than in equity stocks
After Tb, then my next preference is a bond
BusinessRe: Bonds Investment, How Does It Really Work In Practice? by being(m):
Right deductions.
Bonds are traded OTC.
DMO issues them fresh.
Bond rates & prices can be checked on fmdq daily quotations.
BusinessRe: Bonds Investment, How Does It Really Work In Practice? by being(m):
Basics: A bond is a debt to an issuer or a debt investment to a buyer. They can have a tenor of as long as 50 years.
Coupon - semi annual interest payment. A coupon of 8% means you get a payment of 4% of the face value of d bond every 6 months.
face value: Amount you get back on maturity of investment.
The coupon is also based on this.
Premium: A bond of facevalue of #100 sold at109 was sold at a premium.
Discount: A bond of face value of #100 sold for below #100 was sold at a discount. Discount is opposite to premium.
Par: A bond of face value of #60 sold for #60 was sold at par.

There are FGN Bonds & Corporate bonds. FGN Bonds are issued by d federal govt. Corporate bonds are issued by companies. They can be denominated in naira or dollars(euro bonds)
Yield: Total expected inflows minus total outflow all over total outflow.
Now total outflow is cost of buying the Bond(either at premium or discount).
Total inflows = total coupons over tenor of bond + facevalue of bond( u know u get this facevalue back on maturity)

The higher the inflation rate, the higher the yield of a bond should be.
It doesn't make sense that my investment has a lower purchasing power after maturity than before start date.

Christianity EtcRe: Question For People Who Believe In Reincarnation by being(m): 11:40pm On Jan 13, 2017
AnonyNymous:
Reincarnation seems like an interesting topic. I just want to ask:

1. Why do we forget our 'past lives' in our new incarnations?

2. When we die, do we forget this current incarnation as well? Or do we remember all past incarnations?

3. If reincarnation is true, what's responsible for the increase in the worlds population?

4. When do we 'stop' reincarnating?
This is a honest inquiry
U need learn Truth which comes from knowing Christ.Thats what will give a meaning to your life

*IT IS TOO EARLY TO BLAME PRESIDENT BUHARI FOR THE FOLLOWING REASONS*

Talking about 16 years of PDP Vs 1+ year of APC.....

1. PDP met a bag of rice at less than N2500 in 1999, but left it at N11,000 in 2015 when they left power.

2. PDP met the Dollar at N20 when they came in 1999, but left it at N220 in 2015 when they were leaving.

3. PDP met petrol pump price at N11 when they came in 1999 but left it at N87 when they were leaving in 2015.

4. PDP met a bag of cement at less than N400 but left it at N2000 while they were leaving in 2015.

5. PDP met a tin of milk at N15 in 1999 but left it at N100 when they left in 2015.

6. PDP met only OPC in 1999 but left us with Niger Delta militancy, Avengers, MASSOB, IPOB, BAKKASI and Boko Haram as at when they left in 2015.

7. PDP was ushered in with a free and fair election in 1999 by the military but they left us with ballot box snatching, rice sharing for campaigns, do-or- die politics, political assassinations, etc...

8. Hmmm even Life expectancy for Nigerians was 59 years when PDP came in 1999 but PDP left it at 42years...

All these outlined problems are the legacy of the PDP led government.

The ppl and party that brought Nigeria and Nigerians to her knees are again offering Nigeria advice on governance, can someone tell them to please let us give this administration its four years, before judgement.

What they couldn't do in 16yrs, they demand this administration to deliver in one year.

Are these people serious ? I think we have to stop blaming Buhari's govt, for inherited problems his administration is working hard to solve.

May God help Buhari bring back our lost Glory.
Even as we buy a litre of petroleum at N145 or more, we will continue to endure.

Even as power generation drops, we will continue to believe that things will get better.

Even as the exchange rate remains high, we will continue to have faith in God believing that one day it shall be better.

Even as salary is not paid as at when due, we shall continue to believe that this condition is not forever.

Even as the prices of food items and other commodities have gone high, we will continue to have faith and confidence that one day it shall become history.

We campaigned for CHANGE.

We voted for CHANGE.

We believe in CHANGE.

We so much believe that one day we will be counting the much benefits of CHANGE.

CareerRe: I Need Advice On Career Change From Medicine To Management Consulting by being(m): 9:18pm On Dec 23, 2016
Apart from MC, have you considered investment banking - here u deal more with numbers- the DMD of Vetiva studied medicine. One reason I'm sayin ds is because it could be quite difficult to get into McK. Accenture is a no! Other MC firms in Nigeria ain't that interesting.
Other options u have include medical management jobs lik HMO jobs.
But really, do you think you ll b bored doing medical/bioscience research?
Being that you get bored easily, I would advice MC or IB. But both are so very time consuming. But loads of moni to made.

Shut up! You go and fight without food for days knowing it's intentional and see how it feels.

PoliticsRe: Nigerian Army General Escapes Lynching By Hungry Soldiers by being(m): 7:02pm On Dec 18, 2016
nextprince:
Bro, u don't know how some soldiers behave. There are situations when movement of logistics items (food inclusive) poses a lot of danger and these soldiers are fully aware but rather than taking it the way it comes, u see them making mountains out of mole hills and because of this democracy (which we are not matured for) u will see many people who know nothing about the situation taking to social media spewing all manners of rubbish.
Okay, just look at the case in point, if things were normal, will food be transported by air rather than roads? And the GOC himself had to accompany the food. Why do u think a whole General should accompany food items meant for soldiers under normal situation? Bro, there are things that are not just right.
If a proper court Martial were to be held and appropriate punishment awarded, they will start behaving like orphans.
Note, I'm not justifying the situation of going for days in battle front without food but there a times when u can't help it.
I'm not a military personnel but I have had interactions with many disciplined soldiers who had gone for several peace-keeping missions both within and outside Nigeria.
Some of these personnel lack the basics of professionalism.
Will u shut up?!!! What do you mean by we are not matured for democracy? What the heck exactly does a military man know about goverance? And u r here talking gibberish cos of your superiority complex and merciless childhood! We wouldn't be where we are in this country had the military not intervened since the sixties.!! Pls don't u ever think that a society has to be like the regimented and loveless barracks you grew up in for the society to function smoothly.

Stop bothering about some 18 mill. Because u haven't suggested that ur biz as it is can generate a revenue of even 1.5M per year. How will u pay back the loan?!!
Even if u have 18M cash, it doesn't make business sense to invest in that enterprise.
Try and RENT a place at a reasonable cost. U can try out friends & family or cooperative s for a start.
U can PM me.
