"Hi my name is Bill Rae. I'm with Alumni Financial Services. I've been in the business and finance world for well over 20 years and your question is how to understand bond yields. Well that's an excellent question. I suppose one should understand that a bond in the finance world is a debt security issued from an authorized company to a holder. Fancy word for a company that borrows money, owes you and agrees to pay you back in a certain time a certain interest rate. With that being said then what is the yield. Well the yield is the annual percentage divided by the cost price of that buy. It's that simple. What we always recommend here, however, is you do understand your contracts or your agreements, know what it is that you're getting involved in, know what the cost is, know when and how you can get your money back and always always seek sound licensed advice. My name is Bill Rae. I'm with Alumni Financial Services and as always we're here to help you build wealth."
