    New Company Bond Market?

    Just wondering if any of you here have some insights into the new Company Bond Market please? These bonds were previously only available for a minimum of around ¡Ì50k, I think, so rule out the riff raff. Reports I've read suggest that dividends of around 7% to 8% should be available.

    one in five U.S. households ran out of money to buy enough food
