[问题] Anyone has Bond purchasing experience?

[LoveBaby]

One of my friend in Toronto told me that she bought Canadian Government bond 1 or 2 years ago. The interest rate is at least 5%. Anyone has similar experience or knowledge? Sounds like better than GIC.

I don't know Bond. I only know Bond price is also up and down every day.

The bond market is where interest rates are determined.When the interest rate rises, the price of the bond falls, and vice versa.
Wealth, expected returns and inflation, risk liquidity and many other factos will cause bond price decrease or increase.
what you mentioned "interest rate"is the bond rate or the current yield? And how about the maturity of the bond? You need to know those factors, and then make comparison with other investment tools.

I know very little about bond and that is why I came here to ask. Maybe I even can not ask the right question? It seems that you are quite knowledgeable in this area. Taking this opportunity, you may give us some introduction to its related teminologies and various produts. Thanks for your sharing!
