Rumble & Anyone else
Was the 13% payment based on $1.00 per bond or 1/3 of $3.00 per bond.
The reason I ask is we only held the bonds for 1/3 of that quarter May 1,2014.
So could that bond really be worth $3.00 & not the $1.00 everyone is talking about.
We will know on the September 1,2014 interest payment.
Also another point: if the BOND will have a face value of $100 in 2030, that is approximately 64 quarters away.
So will the BONDS increase in value for every quarter closer to maturity date?
If so that means the $3.00 will grow by $1.52 each quarter.
How I got to this # is as follows: $100-$3.00(existing value) /64 = $97.00/64= $1.5156 or about $1.52 increase.
So in September the dividend should be $3.00+$1.52= $4.52 * .13 = $0.59/4=$0.1469 per bond
Anyone want to chime in?
