What Should A Company Do With Its Junk Bonds ?
Junk bond sounds very dicey and high risk the moment you hear about it. It is a high risk type of bond.

When you buy a bond or a junk bond you are agreeing to give a large amount of money to the company for an interest. The company in return gives you a steady income in the form of interest for your investment. Usually other bonds may not give you a very high rate of interest because they will be rated as low risk or medium risk companies. However, a junk bond is giving you a high rate of interest because they do not have a choice. This is the only way they can attract investors.
The company that is issuing junk bonds has a poor rating and has no credibility with the rating companies. In order to compensate their lack of credibility, they attract investors by promising them a high rate of interest. Some of the risks that you run by investing in junk bonds are that the company may not pay you the rate if interest they promised and they may also default on payments.
A company that has junk bonds should be able to liquidize the bonds when they feel threatened due to the market conditions. Junk bonds were popular for a while and then they started falling under highest risk category and lost their popularity.
