Whats the difference in a 10 year t-bond and a 10 year t-note. both pay interest every 6 months. Is it on how they are bid? Thanks.
The "bond" may have been issued long before the note and now, both securities may have the same amount of time remaining before redemption.
That's a good question. I don't know the answer but your can start here. Difference between T-Bills, Notes and Bonds G'Night
t-bills short term i believe upto two years t-notes upto ten years t-bonds ten years and longer sometimes used interchangeably
