I've been investing for a little over 6 months gradually learning. I have recently starting looking into bonds and trying to figure them out. After doing research online I have the basic jist of whats going on but I have one main question.
How come I'm able to buy a 100$ bond on my brokerage (Public) that matures in 14$ at 5-6% interest, but then other bonds will be 6 - 12 months at same price and around 6-7% interest. I know some of them will payout semi-annually / quarterly percentages but is that the only advantage to buy into 'long-term' bonds.
Just for a little further information, most bonds on Public trade at the same price of around $80-$100 with most top 7 companies, there are $50 bonds for higher risk companies that pay +10% interest, but I understand the risk in that, just trying to figure out why I would not just buy 100$ bond and make $4.50-$6 every 2 weeks.
