About Bonds

In the finance world, a bond is a type of coupon, which a lender issues to someone in recognition of the debt printed on the coupon. The lender must also pay the owner interest on the coupon amount too.

The bond is, in essence, a loan - where the borrower is actually the issuer of the coupon.

Bonds are similar to stocks in the sense that they're both securities, but bonds will earn equity, where as stocks won't.

A general view of the ancient Rome's forum and the Colosseum taken on December 28, 2011. Italy's borrowing costs plunged in an auction of six-month bonds following government plans to cut the deficit and boost growth, with a second crucial sale of longer-term debt set for December 29. Italy raised 9.0 billion euros ($11.8 billion) at a rate of 3.251 percent -- with some analysts suggesting that European banks making use of low-cost European Central Bank money were largely behind the auction's success. The rate was half the 6.504 percent that Italy was forced to pay in November and also below the level of 3.535 percent it paid in October. Italy also raised 1.733 billion euros with zero coupon bonds due in 2013 at a rate of 4.853 percent, compared to 7.814 percent last month.
