Bonds
A bond is a promissory note that evidences the loan. When you buy a bond, you are lending money to a government
or corporation, which they must repay you. The borrowers (government or
corporation) promise to pay interest to the lenders (investors) at regular (fixed)
intervals until they mature. At maturity, the borrowers promise to repay the loan in full.
Bonds can have many different time frames. Short-term bonds generally mature in one to
three years and long-term bonds in more than ten years.
