coz if and when the company goes for liquidation these bonds are not secured, meaning that the money is not guranteed, its first paid to all the secured creditors and if any money is left then that money is given to unsecured bonds and debentures...

Debenture is a unsecured (that's critical) debt :).\nFeature:\nYou owe money\nIt probably carries a coupon which you have to pay\n\n\nRival

They usually trade on the exchange of the underlying security.  Most have a small market so prices can be spotty.

They certainly render misleading media releases, though my personal presumtion is that that is more for their own benefit (e.g. playing down a story, playing up an achievement - anything to make them look good.)\nWhether a government as a whole (rather than an individual politician) would do similar to manipulate the market I'm not so sure. Having said that, I wouldn't put it past them.

Don't like them or the entire concept.\n\nIt has been found that some electronic exchange programs can be tampered with and manipulated with.\n\nYou can guess in who's favor.\n\nRevco?

They sound like a boiler room scam to me. I'm always suspicious of people who try to add kudos to their firms with a pseudointellectual name - particularly, as a Cambridge graduate myself, of ones using the "Oxbridge" name.\n\nI'm even more suspicious of firms not regulated by the FSA, because there's no comeback if they rip you off.\n\nAnd I'm most suspicious of companies against which there is an explicit FSA warning and/or articles on what a scam they are - see below.

No.  Sounds 'scammish'.

Dude, seriously, that's the anti-fraud unit of the Nigerian Government.\n\nWhoever it is that you're dealing with who claims to be 'protected' by the EFCC is almost certainly not genuine. Make your excuses and bail.\n\nNow.

They should.\nBond ladders are a good thing to use when investing in bonds.

Specifically, it is obvious that one is a scam.  Generally, there is some scam going on in every part of this country.  In the case of Louisianna, the scam is on tax payers, as recent news reports indicate.  But who didn't see that coming?  When the government gets criticised (British spelling, for no good reason), it starts throwing money.  Why not?  At certain times it will admit that the money isn't theirs.

They're securities that are based on some underlying security, hence derivative.  For example, an option's value is based on the value of some underlying stock.
