In finance, a high yield bond (non-investment grade bond, speculative grade bond
or junk bond) is a bond that is rated below investment grade at the time of
purchase. These bonds have a higher risk of default or other adverse credit
events, but typically pay higher yields than better quality bonds in order to
make them attractive to investors.
Flows and levels
Global issuance of high yield bonds more than doubled in 2003 to nearly $146
billion in securities issued from less than $63 billion in 2002, although this
is still less than the record of $150 billion in 1998. Issuance is
disproportionately centered in the U.S.A., although issuers in Europe, Asia and
South Africa have recently turned to high yield debt in connection with
refinancings and acquisitions. In 2006, European companies issued over €31
billion of high yield bonds.
Risk
The holder of any debt is subject to interest rate risk and credit risk.
Interest rate risk refers to the risk of the market value of a bond changing in
value due to changes in the structure or level of interest rates or credit
spreads. The credit risk of a high yield bond refers to the probability and
probable loss upon a credit event (i.e., the obligor defaults on scheduled
payments, files for bankruptcy, or the bond is restructured.)
A credit rating agency attempts to describe the risk with a credit rating such
as AAA. In North America, the five major agencies are Standard and Poor's,
Moody's, Fitch Ratings, Dominion Bond Rating Service and A.M Best. Bonds in
other countries may be rated by US rating agencies or by local credit rating
agencies. Rating scales vary; the most popular scale uses (in order of
increasing risk) ratings of AAA, AA, A, BBB, BB, B, CCC, CC, C, with the
additional rating D for debt already in arrears. Government bonds and bonds
issued by government sponsored enterprises (GSE's) are often considered to be in
a zero-risk category above AAA; and categories like AA and A may sometimes be
split into finer subdivisions like "AA-" or "AA+".
Bonds rated BBB- and higher are called investment grade bonds. Bonds rated lower
than investment grade on their date of issue are called speculative grade bonds,
derisively referred to as "junk" bonds.
The lower-rated debt typically offers a higher yield, making speculative bonds
attractive investment vehicles for certain types of financial portfolios and
strategies. Many pension funds and other investors (banks, insurance companies),
however, are prohibited in their by-laws from investing in bonds which have
ratings below a particular level. As a result, the lower-rated securities have a
different investor base/clientele than investment grade bonds.
The value of speculative bonds is affected to a higher degree than investment
grade bonds by the possibility of default. For example, in a recession interest
rates may drop, and the drop in interest rates tends to increase the value of
investment grade bonds; however, a recession tends to increase the possibility
of default in speculative grade bonds.
Usage
The original speculative grade bonds were bonds that once had been investment
grade at time of issue, but where the credit rating of the issuer had slipped
and the possibility of default increased significantly. These bonds are called
"Fallen Angels".
The investment banker, Michael Milken, realised that fallen angels had regularly
been valued less than what they were worth. His time with speculative grade
bonds started with his investment in these. Only later did he and other
investment bankers at Drexel Burnham Lambert, followed by those of competing
firms, begin organising the issue of bonds that were speculative grade from the
start. Speculative grade bonds thus became ubiquitous in the 1980s as a
financing mechanism in mergers and acquisitions. In a leveraged buyout (LBO) an
acquirer would issue speculative grade bonds to help pay for an acquisition and
then use the target's cash flow to help pay the debt over time.
In 2005, over 80% of the principal amount of high yield debt issued by U.S.
companies went toward corporate purposes rather than acquisitions or buyouts.
High-yield bonds can also be repackaged into collateralized debt obligations (CDO),
thereby raising the credit rating of the senior tranches above the rating of the
original debt. The senior tranches of high-yield CDOs can thus meet the minimum
credit rating requirements of pension funds and other institutional investors
despite the significant risk in the original high-yield debt.
High-yield bond indices
High-yield bond indices exist for dedicated investors in the market. Indices for
the broad high yield market include the CSFB High Yield II Index (CSHY), the
Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II, and the Bear Stearns High Yield Index (BSIX).
Some investors, preferring to dedicate themselves to higher-rated and less-risky
investments, use an index that only includes BB-rated and B-rated securities,
such at the Merrill Lynch BB/B Index. Other investors focus on the lowest
quality debt rated CCC or Distressed securities, commonly defined as those
yielding 1000 basis points over equivalent government bonds
RuneScape has often been one of
the top massive online role playing games. It is a unique game. But, with a
unique game, comes unique players. Players get bored, and then try to develop
cheats....autos or bots that will help them achieve success in their beloved
games of Runescape 2.
RuneScape is a virtual world which
is divided into two part: Members Areas and Non-Members areas. People who pay to
play (p2p), receive access to the special areas. They also have access to the
free areas. The members' places are much larger, offer "better" items for the
gameplay of rs2, and much, much more. The character that you create when you
first start playing runescape, moves around the game on foot; either by running,
or walking. Players are challenged to their utmost skills by fighting new
monsters, completing difficult quests, and manipulating marketing. As Runescape
2 is an RPG (Role playing game), there is no set path a person must take to play
rs. They can choose what to do, and when, whether it be training their
money-making skills, or fighting another player. Players usually interact with
each other by chatting through public chat, or private chat.Internet Junction For Gamers, Runescape Market and More IJFG.COM IJFG.com
was a runescape 2 based site. They have now, however, taken another look....
Of
course the king of all game cheating websites is

cheat forums, mmorpg topsite, arcade games and any mmo game related topics.
The master of massive multiplayer
online role-playing games (MMORPG) cheats can be found at Trik.com
Trik.com; this site is one of the best today. The forum section,
Trik.com forum, originally came from IJFG.com (Internet Junction For
Gamers) , which was one of the best websites that discussed various gamers'
issues. The full name was Internet Junction For Gamers, Runescape Market and
More. This site had Jokes, Pranks, RuneScape and other cool games. RuneScape is
set in a medieval fantasy world, similar to "Guild Wars" or "EverQuest," where
players control character representations of themselves. As with most MMORPG,
there is no overall objective or end to the game. Players explore, form
alliances, perform optional tasks, and complete quests for rewards and to build
characters' skills.
Trik.com continues IJFG.com's
success, but Trik.com has more to offer. Trik Topsite can be found at
Trik Topsite; the TopSite is a great addition if you want to find the best

prove yourself at Trik.com arcade:

With the rising popularity of
commercial MMORPG games came the desire from ardent players of these games to
run their own servers beside the ones run by the game's creator. Since the
original server software is not usually available, the behavior of the server
has to be re-engineered. This can be done by analyzing the data stream with the
original server, or by disassembling and analyzing the client which is
available.
Ultima Online was one of the first
large MMORPGs. Due to its openness in implementation, server emulators arose
very quickly, even during the beta stage of development. The destination to
which the client connects was changeable by simply editing a text file. In beta
stage the client-server data stream was not encrypted yet. The term server
emulator became known through Ultima Online server reimplementation such as UOX,
which was the pioneer. Many forks and reimplementations followed UOX, because
its source code was released under the GNU General Public License relatively
early. RunUO is today the most widely used UO-server emulator. After RuneScape
implemented anti-cheating measures, many gamers left and started their own
private servers. The best place to discuss the private server is at
Trik- The Master of Private Server.
Another useful site is
Rune Web ruwb.com . This site is about more serious RuneScape gold trading,
account exchange, gold for real life cash and many services. It includes tips on
how to avoid getting lured/scammed while using the marketplace. For programming,
visual basics, java, C/C++, scar and all other languages such as PHP, HTML, ASP,
Delphi. There are also sections for graphics talents, plus many cool videos and
fun stuff.

gaming history was when a group of gamers called (hygo 7) decided to start an
ultimate game forum, which they named
hygo.com. It has the best financial backing, the friendliest game community,
and the highest quality of information. Currently Hygo.com has entered a new
