There is a code function on fuwanovel? didn't know, also nice C "hello world" wwww
Well, thanks for the question, that would illustrate what this thread would be used for.
First of all, investing in bonds means you are investing in the debt obligation of a bond user, your are basically lending money in return for the promised repayment of the principal amount at maturity and an agreed upon interest payment, whereas when you invest in shares, you become part owner of the business.
Now, why do people prefer bonds over buying shares? i'd say mostly because of this :
-Returns bonds are not tied to performances or profitability of the business, you'll receive the same returns regardless of the company's well being, even when the company have to restructurate or face a cyclical downturn.
-Many investors use bonds as a way to guarantee their entire principal even as they seek returns to grow their wealth. This can be important for investors who require the money for a future expense such as a child’s tertiary education or to upgrade their home in the coming future.
-steady and visible flow of income. This is especially attractive for investors nearing retirement and seeking passive income to replace their earned income(aka it's a stream of free cash).
-Bond investors do not have any rights to a company’s profit as they are not equity owners, but they do have rights to the assets of an organisation in the event of a default, if the company is in default, they may have to sell their assets, and bond investors are priorized in such case.
Naturally, lending money to different entities means you are exposed to differing levels of risk, generally, you should go for government-funded bonds, as they happen to be way safer than corporate bonds.
I hope i answered your question well, and i also hope everyone got the principle of this thread.
