  • Great video, the penny just dropped for me around understanding bonds.

  • its super good but maybe start with explaining what equity and other such simple things actually mean? or is it in a different video?

  • @Ash4800 Equity is the residual value after liability claims. So if I have $20,000 of cash as an asset, and $5000 in outstanding liability debt, my equity would be $15,000. In accounting terms, equity is the make up of retained earnings (earnings accumulated that stay within the company) and common shares (or dollars raised by the corporation in the form of stock).

  • oh shit this guy does chemistry AND business

  • It explains stocks vs bonds

  • I just love this guys voice!

  • All give Sal a round of applause for putting this excellent video on here!

  • Sal, how do I actually issue bonds? Who do I talk to? Where do I start?

  • @MrBornsleeky depending on the size of your company, you would go an talk to an investment bank and they would set up and offering for you. Not for free of course =]

  • Super explanation!

  • Love it, great explanation!

    

  • Very well explained, as usually!!

    I've got one remark: Most Western European countries apply Annual coupons and not semi-annual. But it's a small detail :-p ....

  • what about inflation?

  • Thankyou!

  • Good video!  I felt like I was learning from Sulu on Star Trek.

  • no good music

  • Great Video...

  • oh my god that really cleared things up

  • thanks  you khanacademy!

  • All your videos are mind blowing, I think I am getting addicted to it :-) My interest and knowledge in the subject in getting better everyday, thank you very much.

  • excellent video i am about to get into advanced accounting and this was the best explication of a bond yet...please make more videos this is excellent.

  • congrats on the sponsorship! well-deserved!

  • Too bad the video doesn't explain anything about the risks attached. Like this, it almost appears to be a way to make free money.

    Got some cash? Buy a bond and make some profit.

  • ditto janssen - congrats on sponsorship Sal! You've definitely earned it!

  • me too xahha

  • CONGRATS ON THE VISA SPONSORSHIP!!! You deserve it!!

  • One thing I DID learn from that guy I lived w/ is that there are 2 types of bonds: Junk and whatever the regular is called.

    Could you do a video about a bridge loan? I don't understand what that is.

    I can't imagine a bank helping someone get a loan. They turned me down flat, b/c I had no proof I could pay it back and no collateral. Something like that.

    I have no parents to say they'll be responsible for the cost if I don't pay it.

    Like I'd stiff someone, but nobody believes me.

  • thanks, this video illustrates your knowledge which helped me understand a bond

  • thought this was chemistry lol

  • lol me too

  • :DD

  • :DD
