.\n.\n.\nIn the beginning the Bank was the Government's banker; managing the Government's accounts and providing and arranging loans to the Government. It was also a commercial bank, dealing in bills - the then total equivalent of overdraft finance, furnishing finance for trade and took deposits and issued notes. The concept 'credit' or imaginary money' emerged during this period also. It was realised that money could take on new forms, possess no intrinsic value and yet still retain qualities to fulfil payment obligations. Therefore at the same time that the National Debt was born, paper money came into existence. \n\nDuring the 18th and early 19th centuries great demands were placed on the Bank for finance; the National Debt grew from £12 million in 1700 to £850 million by 1815, the year of Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo. However, in creating credit-issuing notes that were not fully backed by cash (gold) in hand, but were partly supported by credit given to the Government or by commerce - rendered itself liable to its depositors wanting all their money returned at once. The Bank therefore, needed to retain a prudent reserve of gold to ensure liabilities could be met on demand. This can be seen as the beginning of a policy of monetary stability. \n\nEventually, though, prudence and discretion proved insufficient. The Bank was the nation's bank, and at times of natural crisis its gold reserve was needed for national purposes.\n\n.\n.\n.\n\n1946: Bank of England nationalised\nNationalisation, after the Second World War, made little immediate practical difference to the Bank. The Bank remained the Treasury's adviser, agent and debt manager. During and for years after the war it administered exchange control and various borrowing restrictions on the Treasury's behalf. However, a revival of interest in monetary policy during the high inflation period of the seventies ultimately led to a re-evaluation of the role of the Bank of England.\n\n1997: Bank now responsible for monetary policy and the creation of the United Kingdom Debt Management Office\nIn 1997 the Government announced its intention to transfer full operational responsibility for monetary policy to the Bank of England. The Bank was given its independence as a central bank. Debt Management on behalf of the government was continued through the creation of the UK Debt Management Office, an executive agency of HM Treasury. The Bank's regulatory functions passed to the Financial Services Authority. ( http://www.dmo.gov.uk/bginfo/bofe.htm )

It depends upon your investing time horizon and which country you are in.  If you are in the US then US treasury bond yields can be used, but you need to find the one which corresponds to the period of time you are talking about. If you are in the UK then you neeed to find the gilt yields.  Gilts are UK government bonds and you can find this easily in the FT.  Right now in the US and other places the short term and long term rates are quite similar, so if you can tell which time horizon is being referred to, you aren't making a huge error.  This is referred to as a "flat yeld curve".  Normally (speaking historically) the long term rates are higher than the short term rates.

A bond, in a nutshell, is a loan you make the a corporation or government (for example a War Bond).  They are purchased through brokers, but some organizations, such as the government, allow people to buy them directly.  When you loan money to the organization, they keep it for a set period of time to improve their business (or in the government's case, buy war machines, repair schools and so on).  That means that during this time, you don't have the money to spend on yourself.  To pay you back for the lost opportunities, your opportunity cost, the organization pays you back with interest at the end of the bond (some bonds pay interest during the life too, but thats too complicated for a quick answer). You do gain money on interest, but depending on your investment style and risk aversion, it may or may not be enough to cover your opportunity cost.  If you are interested in buying government bonds, contact a government office (ususally the post office can point you in the right direction.  Corporate bonds are typically handled through brokers.

If you are refering to t-bills and bonds, then the rate at which the government borrows money is below the yeild curve of other borrowers. The rate at which the governmnet borrows money is at the Risk Free rate (rate on the on the 20 year note (it could be the 30 year bond)) because the government has never defulted on it's payments, and it would be very difficult for them to do so (since they can simply print money). When figuring out a rate of return required for non US government borrowers you need to include a risk premuim, which will raise the rate at which they can borrower money at.

Money markets a simply bonds with short maturity, meaning (usually)government  bonds that will expire in (usually) less than one year.\nNot like regular bonds they are almost independently connected to the expected rate return of the period that the security will expire. In "regular" bonds there is also the risk factor (the "default" risk) where higher risk leads to higher yield but in money markets this is almost not a factor because these bonds are usually with very small risk (because of their short period to execution and because they are usually government bonds).\nIn money markets there are no "coupons". The price you pay is a beet less than 100 and the money you receive in the end of the period is 100. The difference is the return rate (in rough calculation)\nThe bottom line: YES, IT IS VERY SAFE

3 year - 3 years to maturity\n\ncallable - the company can call back the bond.  The terms are usually given in the prospectus, but it gives the company an option if interest rates drop a bit.  Then, they call the bond and reissue (if necessary) new ones at a lower rate\n\nfloating-rate - The coupon rate will float based on some given terms, usually tied to LIBOR or some other generally acceptable rate\n\nsenior - These notes have a higher priority on the assets of the firm on a default than the junior/subordinated notes.
