The spread will widen. Deterioration of the economy increases credit risk, that is, the likelihood of default. Investors will demand a greater premium on debt securities subject to default risk.

It is capital loss of the company. It comes only in the time when redeem debenture.

Anyone purchasing a bond would do so with the expectation of income from the transaction, just like making a commercial loan. Bonds issued by a non-profit would be no different.

Not immediate.Only after the minimum Lockin period.

Low but it could have a value.

Debentures also known as loan notes lean more towards non current liabilities i.e. bank loans, than ordinary shares which is equity.

The interest from debentures may be higher than dividen paying shares in the early part of a firm's life; later on it may be more advantageous to hold ordinary shares as dividends paid out can outperform capital gain from interest paid on loans.

Also ordinary shares have voting rights; if enough are purchased by a stakeholder, the stakeholder can influence the company's direction and use of profits. Debenture owners cannot do the same.

No matter what your investments in an IRA are, the tax situation only unfolds when you withdraw money from the IRA. How the investments in the IRA earn a yield is irrelevant. If its a traditional IRA you will be taxed when you start withdrawing money at retirement. If its a Roth, you will not be taxed on withdrawals no matter what the investments are inside the IRA. Sinces IRA are taxed deferred in makes little senses to invest into a Tax Free Municipal bond.

Yes, it should be reported on your tax return. In general, interest from a municipal is not taxable, but it could affect other items on your return, or be taxable in your state. Proceeds from the sale of a muni bond could be taxable if there is a gain on the sale. This question is too complex to be fully answered in this forum. As always, consult with a tax professional for specific answers. CPA Greg

Money Market Mutual Fund.

With bonds traded in the open market, it is the accepted rule that when price goes up, yield goes down. This is due to the fact that the terms of the bond do not change once it is issued. If a bond is issued with a 3% coupon, for example, that money is guaranteed for the person who is holding that bond to maturity. So if the price of the bond goes down, the yield will actually go up since you are actually paying less for that same amount of guaranteed money. Keep in mind that current yield is coupon/price. A high yield though is not always a good thing. These bonds that have a high yield as a result of being traded at a very low price are colloquially known as junk bonds, although the industry term for them is "high yield". High yield is obviously a good thing, but the implication is that those bonds carry a very high risk of non-payment. This could be because the issuer is not trustworthy in their ability to repay. Usually high yield bonds come from sources that have poor ratings from Moody's, S&P and Fitch or are not rated at all. Thus it all comes down to risk vs. reward. If one of these high yield bonds actually does pay out on maturity, the holder is a big winner. What is also likely is that the bond issuer defaults on the responsibility and the holder loses.

In the case of a bankruptcy it is always the case that risk increases which will drive down price which, as discussed above, will push yield up.

Fixed Income Securities are investments in which the income or interest earning is fixed and can be predicted accurately. Bonds & Debt Mutual funds would come under Fixed Income Securities.

these debentures which give an option to their holder to convert them into equity or preference shares at specified rate of exchange after a certain period. when such debenture holders exercise the right of convertion, they cease to be lenders to the company and become its members. the convertible debentures may be fully convertible or partly convertible

Because Treasuries are backed by the U.S. govt, and by extension the U.S. economy and society as a whole. This is perceived as safer than individual corporate bonds, and therefore the yields don't need to be as high.

what is debenture

Usually they are safer than other forms of investment, because the government can always raise taxes to repay its debts. However, some governments have defaulted on their debts in the past, so they are not totally safe.

You can tell which government bonds are safer than others by their credit rating. Australia and Singapore have AAA credit ratings (the best there is), but other governments like Greece and Portugal have much lower credit ratings and their bonds are not as safe.
