I'm trying to make most bond purchases in IRA/Roth accounts.
Did do a goof and purchase a 5 year TIP in the regular account, so will have more fun doing taxes for the next 5 years.

I'm sure I do small potatoes compared to most folks, as the largest single purchase of interest bearing things has been $20K in a Treasury.

Don't panic. It's just a 1099-OID and not a big deal. Just plug into your favorite tax program. It is as easy as handling 1099-INT. You just have to remember you have another form, that's all.

Preparing the tax return is easy. Writing the check is hard.

I'm buying the GS 5 year and the BOA 5 year notes and also the TD 5 year notes. For some reason investment advisors will have you believe that buying GS and BOA stock is okay but buying their bonds is risky. In reality the opposite is true. Bond interest payments and return of capital at maturity or call are contractual obligations. Companies have no obligation to pay dividends and there is no par value for stocks.

First post here. Appreciating all the sage advise here, esp Freedom, thank you.

This bond says the note will price on Oct 26, is there a reason to wait until then to buy then or is Oct 25 viable for the 6.35% at 100%?

The 3 month LIBOR will drop off as rates stabilize and will drop first when the Fed cut rates. You have to believe that the Fed will continue to raise rates beyond the 4.8% target to buy this floater.

How do I find the TD bank 5 year note? A search of FINRA came up with nothing.

This is very helpful. Explains why I couldn’t find it on Fidelity’s website. I hate to have to open another account but Fidelity told me I have to go through their bond trading desk if they don’t have it on their website and it would have to be a large enough buy to justify the purchase.

All corporate notes with coupons 6% and higher have been sold out at TDA as bond yields have pulled back and the spreads have narrowed. I think we can count on Powell to say something next week to spook the markets again so we can get those 6%+ yields again. Hopefully my orders for GS and BOA will execute tomorrow. The Wells Fargo 6% 3 year note is pending execution. The secondary markets are littered with a lot of low coupon notes from banks and other companies. High grade notes from technology companies (A rated) are trading with very narrow spreads to treasuries and not worth buying at this point. It appears that fixed income investors are crowding into the stronger sectors in fixed income and bidding those securities up. In any case, I have no plans to buy any more new issues until I see a "6" or higher as the leading digit. I'm pretty confident that we will see better yields this tax loss selling season.

Thanks for the update. Appreciate it. I have been following the yields closely myself. the 10 yr has pulled back from 4.3% just last Friday to around 4.02 today.

The Bank of Canada signaled today that it is nearing the end of its interest-rate hiking campaign by raising 50 basis points instead of the expected 75 basis points.

Canada just increased their official rate by 0.5 percentage. Lower than the expected 0.75 percent.

Perhaps this is feeding the thoughts by some of a slower increase coming.

Last thing Canadian need is a lower dollar value. It's already just 73 cents USD.

Corporate balance sheets in general (excluding the money losing sectors) are healthy as they have refinanced their debt at historically low rates at the expense of investors who bought funds who in turn bought all those low coupon securities. Make no mistake, investors that buy individual bonds did not bid up issues to YTMs below 0.5%. Passive funds did that. The market has to look ahead to the reality of refinancing of that debt at much higher coupons. Those corporations that issued debt to buy back stock are in for a lot of trouble if they have to re-finance at higher coupons.

Freedom, I am not quite taking it the way the market is front loading info. Here is exactly what Bank of Canada said in paragraph below….The market creates its own agenda. BoC never said 75 or 50 to begin with. But that being said, I certainly believe the heavy lifting is behind though.

“Given elevated inflation and inflation expectations, as well as ongoing demand pressures in the economy, the Governing Council expects that the policy interest rate will need to rise further. Future rate increases will be influenced by our assessments of how tighter monetary policy is working to slow demand, how supply challenges are resolving, and how inflation and inflation expectations are responding. Quantitative tightening is complementing increases in the policy rate. We are resolute in our commitment to restore price stability for Canadians and will continue to take action as required to achieve the 2% inflation target”.
