Is it that perpectual bonds' price very volatile, thus not much price protection on the bonds purchased?

Since the perpectual bonds have no maturity date, thus, the price of the perps could be very volatile, and there is not much protection on the capital invested in the perps? 119.237.141.161 (talk) 07:47, 4 July 2009 (UTC)Winnie

Incorrect formula

I believe the formula y/i is incorrect. It should be i/y. The higher the coupon, the higher the price, and the higher the yield the lower the price. WinthropTSmith (talk) 18:56, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

Confusing "Pricing" section

The formula defines one of its terms as "an expected yield for maximum term available". The phrase "maximum term available" looks wrong to me in relation to a bond with no fixed end date. And I'd expect the bond to yield whatever the issuer promised, provided that the issuer remains solvent.

It refers to a source which does include an equivalent formula, but it appears to be part of an economics course, and so aimed at someone who's read the earlier parts rather than the general public.

I'm not familiar enough with the subject to fix this myself. Could someone have a look? Aoeuidhtns (talk) 11:09, 29 September 2024 (UTC)
