Excessive US focus

What else can I say? - Jmabel | Talk 05:57, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Penny stock par value at $25/share? That's wrong. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.202.54.18 (talk • contribs) 13 December 2006.

I have been trying to find an explanation of bonds in Truck-Driver English for some time. Why pay 120% of the face value of a 30-yr Treasury bond if after 30 years (at maturity) you only get back $100 (in addition to the annual interest). Unless they are being used as ostensibly very stable trading vehicles by banks and institutions with big bucks. Can the interest vary, once set at the purchase date? — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrankTrades (talk • contribs) 12:02, 27 January 2012 (UTC)
