    is it a good idea to invest in bonds given the current economic crisis? nakakatakot… pero di naman siguro babagsak ang isang dambuhalang companya kagaya ng SMB….

    Hopefully prices for the bonds have gone down already. Last month, BDO told me the minimum was P1M! Any news on what the minimum bond rates are right now?

    Selling bonds is definitely one way raising capital of a company.

      @ice_hot, actually during times of recession, people flock to bonds rather than stocks. You just have to check the issuer of the bond, whether they have a good reputation or not and the bond’s credit rating. Although as we have seen recently, credit ratings are not always 100% correct so aside from looking at the credit rating, make your own analysis as well.

      @Reel Advice, bond rates differ depending on the type. You just have to constantly watch out for bond offerings and look for the ones that are good investments.
