First, let's start with the term "par." In finance, par value is the nominal or face value of a bond. It is the amount that the bond will be worth when it matures, also known as the redemption value. The par value is typically $1,000 per bond, but this can vary depending on the bond issuer.

Next, we have the term "premium." A bond selling at a premium is one that is being sold for more than its face or par value. This can happen when interest rates in the market have fallen below the coupon rate of the bond. In this case, the bond's yield is higher than the current market rate, making it more attractive to investors.

The term "note" is used to describe a type of bond that typically has a shorter term than traditional bonds. A note is usually issued for a period of less than 10 years and often has a fixed interest rate. They are typically issued by corporations, municipalities, and the US Treasury.

A "bond" is a debt security that is issued by a government or a corporation. The bond issuer agrees to pay the bondholder a specified amount of interest and to return the principal of the loan at maturity. Bond investors are essentially lending money to the issuer in exchange for interest payments and repayment of the principal.

Finally, let's talk about "duration." Duration is a measure of a bond's sensitivity to interest rate changes. It is often used as a tool to measure the potential price volatility of a bond or a bond portfolio in response to changes in interest rates. In general, the longer the duration, the more sensitive a bond is to interest rate changes.

In conclusion, we hope this video provided you a basic understanding of the terms related to bonds. If you want to learn more about investing in bonds, we recommend attending the free Sunday weekly meetings of the Benjamin Z Miller Investor Networking. These meetings provide a platform for like-minded individuals to come together and share their knowledge and experiences about various investment opportunities, including bonds.
