and might be best if you gave an overview of how ALL bonds work, esp. details of interest rates vs. price.
Then talk about the indiv. differences re: Treasury, Corporate, Municipal, the more concrete examples the better.

And pls DO cover the megative side of buying bonds that has been in the news since 2008.

Specifically, what happens when our pension funds are sold bad bonds ( re: mortgage fraud scenario, and student loans and used car loans, all of which are fraught with less underlying value than promised).

And hints of how I can get into the selling of bonds with no penalties when they become toxic, since it seems to work that way.
