I recently was left a bond portfolio in my Fathers will. I am at a loss as to what many of the bond descriptions mean. For example, I now own the following corporate bond.
EMC CORP SR NT CONV 1.750% 12/01/13 B/E DTD 02/02/07 N/C
I know that EMC CORP is the company name, CONV must mean this is a convertible bond. The rest is greek to me.
