Bonds (Corporate Bonds, Municipal Bonds, Government Bonds, etc.) Explained in One Minute

Whether we're talking about corporate bonds, municipal bonds, government bonds or other types of bonds, the principle is simple: an entity requests a loan and a lender is willing to offer money to the entity in question in exchange for interest (although in our current low to zero to negative interest environment, that part is debatable).
Through this one minute video, I've explained how the process works.

Thanks, bro! 3rd year accounting student. I just didn't "get it" until watching your video. Cheers!

[@NathanHQ]

Also, a general principle of bonds is that the older you get, the more bonds you will likely own in your portfolio. Bonds generally do not suit very young people. It's more for people getting closer to retirement.

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

Good point, although in light of 2020's retail trading craziness, it wouldn't surprise me for young and over-leveraged trading beginners to put an end to that trend :)

Woot, you kept your word about uploading this one, thanks! great vid :-D !

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

I'm really glad you've enjoyed it, happy to have you in the community :)

[@ossiespencer4982]

Thank you for the video.

[@NA-kl8cn]

Will you go into more details on bonds (I.e. grades, collateral backing, YTM rates etc)?

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

Oh yes, there will definitely be more detailed videos related to bonds later on. Through this one, I just wanted to cover the basics and explain how bonds work but as the channel grows, I will definitely address more specific bond-related topics.

[@OriginalElements5]

Important

[@coinstacks2455]

Does this include government bonds too.

[@astrobiker4348]

Is now a good time to invest in quality USA corporate bonds as the interest rates has decreased?

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

It depends on whether you have a short or long-term outlook. Long-term speaking, let me ask you this: how do you see the interest rate environment 10 years down the road and why? :)

[@astrobiker4348]

One Minute Economics this is a short term outlook. In 10 years, the interest rate will be higher as the economy will hopefully be in a better shape so bonds would not be as attractive.

[@Gandalf17]

where does the money to pay the bond holder comes from?

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

Depends on the type of bond... commercial activity if we are referring to corporate bonds, different kinds of taxation for municipal and government bonds, etc. :) Again, think of it as a loan. When someone lends you money, you pay it back by earning money through whatever it is you do for a living. Same principle applies when it comes to bonds.

[@hihowareyou6122]

Hi there

[@attaje]

Can a coop sell bonds?

[@Nchummei]

What's mean by selling bonds to others??

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

If you don't want to hold a bond to maturity, maybe because you need quick liquidity due to a medical or personal emergency, you can always sell it to someone else at the current market price. A significant advantage for sure.

[@astrobiker4348]

I keep seeing stupid ads for beds before this video

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

Thanks for the feedback. I don't have any control over the ads you see, it's most likely due to technology called retargeting. In other words, perhaps you've visited a furniture store/website recently and as a result, the algorithm decided to serve you the bed ads :)

[@mwamussa]

You are dumb to expect the content to be free. Blame yourself for using bed/bedroom/night keywords all over the internet, you sociopath.

[@mwamussa]

@@OneMinuteEconomics Exactly. I don't see why you are even responding to this idiot who has his own frustrations and has decided to take them out on your comments section. You are doing a great job. Such individuals I would just block. Probably an immature kid who has no respect for himself or others. They are a dime a dozen online, bolstered by anonymity.

Buy commodities and crypto, and let the Fed figure its tapering out

[@user-nu7sy3xz6d]

Expecting reply sir, after 1947 in india, through public debt bonds.., how they transformed commonly to redeem..? I cant tracing my father's share which is cheating by nominee

[@kensyjolicoeur]

The music was too high

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

Sorry about that :(

[@lachlangiles5230]

Hello Guy's Bonds are no longer it

[@mozammilkarim8636]

It should be more Elaborate.

[@OneMinuteEconomics]

Is there anything specific you'd like me to focus on? Will do my best to perhaps incorporate that into future videos :)

[@mwamussa]

@@OneMinuteEconomics Charge for that information, people expect to get things for free and you are doing such a great job that you should sell your information in the form of an ebook or a class. Don't give these twenty-something wannabes free information when you worked so hard at this. Thanks.
