    Locking up money for 10 years in a single BBB- issuer's bond sounds WAY too risky, even with a 7.5% coupon. You can get a higher rate of return for WAY less risk simply by investing in an S&P 500 tracking index fund. Bonds are supposed to be LESS risky than stock funds, not more. If you must buy individual corporates, stick to A and higher. Even better, just buy US treasuries or FDIC-insured brokered CDs.

      There is nothing wrong with tying some money up into bonds like this, with pretty much guarenteed returns. Yes, generally the s&p would do better, but you have decades, such as the 1970's and 2000's, where the s&p is flat, or slightly negative. With the run it has had the past decade +, I could see another decade of flat to slightly up performance.

      It might not tight up the $ for 10 years, if rate drops, company might decide to call the high yield bond in to refinance, if Fed drop rate a few times, you can sell it in open market with profit. The risk is when the company gets lower rating or default or the bond is called and you end up holding cash in low rate environment.

    Appreciate your videos. One request : Can you walk through what may happen if these corporate bonds default. When, how and will we get our money back? Uncertainty regarding this is what prevents a lot of retail investors in investing directly in investment grade corporates. It seems going with bond mutual fund or etf is always a better option than buying individual corporate bonds.

    Very interesting. Interesting company (in what they do) and seems like a good investment (other than the continuously callable component). Right off the bat I wonder how prone this company is calling in their bonds and whatnot. Wondering if that's the "duration" or something else (probably), I could always search. Very thorough description too.

      @joewatts9132 Před měsícem +1

      @@youeweu I answered to this earlier but for whatever reason it deletes, I think it was youtube. PSEC hasn't deviated from the single digit price range for a little while (you can see this from the max range on any price chart) but it has gone down steadily from $8.88 or so until now. I'd pay more attention to financials (which I know nothing about), whether they have defaulted on their debt (which I can't remember if this was covered in video, but I know nothing about)...in fact it may be because they have a some what unfavorable rating connected to them that is the reason for the higher risk debt offering, I am not an expert. Remember you aren't buying the stock (but you can use this as a factor) but supplying a company money they will pay you back later and with interest attached. The callable feature gives me pause the most, may not get the full 7.5% before they call it back.

      Stock price fluctuate. Usually, when the dividend % is very high, it means the company isn't doing good. For a single company dividend that gives 13%, the only type I can think of are REITs which have been tanking for the past 2 years.
      If you're interested in dividends, check out SCHD. It gives a 3.5% dividend rate and has very solid companies in its holdings

    • @sonjasssggg4575
      @sonjasssggg4575 Před měsícem +2

      Just my opinion,,: It will probably be called, but on the good side you will get a pretty good interest rate till then....better rate than a 26 week TBill . And another consideration is, since it is barely investment grade (thus the high rate of 7.5%) if it is called, then there is less risk long term.
      Just remember that callable bonds Benefit the issuer, Not the investor... if rates drop, the issuer can call and reissue new bonds at a lower rate and you'llhave to find another place to put your money. But if they go up, they will keep your money on the hook so you can't get the higher rate elsewhere. It's a win_win for them.
      But 7.5% is a good rate if you can tolerate the risks...credit rating, long and short term, etc.
