What are Bonds and How do they Work?

Bonds are some of the most necessary and fundamental vehicles in the financial sector. They allow towns, governments, companies, and other groups to get funding. Bonds are essentially just I.O.Us to the person giving you money, the lender, that says you’re going to pay them back sometime in the future.

They’re a fancy form of a loan that get’s companies and governments funding when they need it. What makes bonds different from loans is that they’re a form of security, in that you can buy a bond and start getting payments from the company that owes you. In essence, bonds are securitized loans.

I wasn't financial free until my 40’s and I’m still in my 40’s, bought my third house already, earn on a monthly through passive income, and got 4 out of 5 goals, just hope it encourages someone's that it doesn’t matter if you don’t have any of them right now, you can start TODAY regardless your age INVEST and change your future! Investing in the financial market is a grand choice I made.

Do not fall into traps like marriage & religion💸... Marriage is a coffin & every child is a nail in that coffin⚰... Religion is a business with no recession💸... #AllforNothing🌎💘💰

Thank you! This answered a lot of my questions. There's still one thing I'm wondering though...

If I buy a stock for let's say 10 000 dollars with a maturity of 5 years. After the first year the issuers credit rating worsens considerably and the price of the bond falls. The issuer doesn't go bankrupt but the price remains lower than when I bought it. If I understood it correctly, the price is only what the bond is traded for on the secondary market so that means I'd still get my 10 000 dollars back after 5 years right?
