CORPORATE BONDS EXPLAINED
Any corporation can issue a corporate bond and due to the increased risk of default, the interest payments are often significantly higher that Government or Municipal bonds. Corporate bonds are given a rating which reflects the amount of risk involved. Bonds being issued by a newly formed company are rated as "junk Bonds" and in stark contrast, bonds issued by blue-chip companies are rated "AA". AA rated bonds will offer a lower yield due to a lesser risk of default. The maturity periods are generally between 1 to 30 years. Interest payments are taxable and corporate bonds have a buoyant secondary market.

SPREAD BETTING ON THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
Financial spread betting allows potential investors to trade on the financial markets while not actually having physical ownership of the instruments they trade with.
In essence this means that a trader can bet on the direction of any financial instrument, be t shares, indices, commodities or FOREX without ever owning those instruments. While on the actual financial markets there there are the so called standard contract sizes, with financial spread betting anyone can decide on his own stake size. The bet is settled as the difference between the purchase and sell price.
