Maybe when Jesus comes...buying or selling a bond in the secondary market is one painful process...You really need to be super patient. So is it much simpler to buy when its floated afresh or how is it Yep...but then if you have done this for a while you will realise that you can get proper off market deals at the secondary market... possunt quia posse videntur

Not necessarily...imagine you bought a paper at a discount of 70 or 80 per 100 you have held the paper for 5 years...got the coupon payments over that period and you can still sell and get your original margin.... possunt quia posse videntur

- Coupon rate 13.50%
- Withholding Tax 10%.
Looks good.
What do you guys think will be the quoted yield / price per 100/=
Happy investing 105-107...it will come in at a premium... @Maka. Any particular reason for such a premium? At these prices the yield will be between 12.125% to 11.625% - roughly. Not too good for a almost five year bond.

@Maka. Thanks.
I have a large 2 year bond maturing on the 26th.
I will roll it over in 2 bids.
- One at 103/=
- One at AVERAGE.
Let's wait and see what happens.
