See, if I'd been paying attention to the news etc I would have seen that DeepThink were about to drop a bomb - then I'd have sold all my NVIDA shares for 150 on Friday and bought 'em all back, plus a few more, for 119 on Monday.

But I wasn't paying attention.

A lot of them do make money and eventually retire.

Yeah, generally they aren't their to turn your 4d into £1M, just help you make the most of what you actually have.

I'm sure quite a few of them retire 'comfortably' without taking big risks with their income.

There's no guarantee the organisation who originally issued the bond will still be in existence when it's time to claim that original value though. That's why credit ratings exist - they essentially say how likely it is the bond will actually pay out at the end. That's where "junk bonds" come in; bonds where it's highly likely the person who originally issued it - the person who borrowed the money - won't be able to pay up.

They go up and down for pretty much the same reason any other financial thing goes up and down; Because people think it's more/less likely they'll get a better return on their money elsewhere

Yes, something seemed to give it a boost on Wednesday.
