Today's Fly Or Die Commerce Report: Junk Bonds

According to Investopedia, a junk bond is, "A bond rated 'BB' or lower because of its high default risk. [It is] also known as a 'high-yield bond' or 'speculative bond.' These are usually purchased for speculative purposes.

Junk bonds typically offer interest rates three to four percentage points higher than safer government issues."
