It depends on the type of bond fund that it is. In the U S if the bond fund invests in municipal bonds, the dividend is tax free from federal taxes and possibly from state taxes as well.  You will receive at the end of the year a 1099 telling you if any of the dividends are taxable.  A bond fund that invests in U S government bonds is tax free from state taxes.  A bond fund that invests in corporate or foreign bonds would be fully taxable.  Again the 1099 will give you the information of the amount that is taxable.  Some of the dividends are capital gains and are fully taxable. Again the 1099 will give you that information

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.

She may own stock in them but Piggly Wiggly has been a part of Bruno's for many years. Bruno's was once controlled by KKR, I don't know if KKR still has a stake in them or not.

Back in the 80's I purhcased EE savings bonds.  The "financial experts" claimed these were bad investments, so I quit getting them.  But I also stopped saving (duh).  Lo and behold those savings bonds that I purhcased (45 for $50) are now worth over $5,000(!) and will help get my son through his final year of college (yay!).  Of course, it's 20 years later but still...  it was a grat investment.

Kraft is one of those companies that sub-contracts their stuff out to distrabution centers so that they can get their products on the shelves.\n\nThere are alot of places that handle the products for them.

I can't find anything, it appears the negotiations are being kept close to the vest. I would contact a reporter familiar with the deal and just ask how things are going.\n\nBe careful, however, because Aramark is a publicly traded company and anything about its financial condition or future earnings potential would be insider information. Since any of those things could affect its stock price and knowing that in advance would be an unfair advantage.
