No, but I think the bankruptcy possibility is very low for shorterm because
amazon will charge state tax at most states. The biggest risk is the stock
buy back plan which will cost large cash flow, but S&P already downgrade it
to BB from BBB- because of this uncertainty. The long term 2021 BBY bond
offer up to 9% yield but riskier than this short term bond as a high yield,
so I skip that one even the return may be higher.

It's an unsecured debt, but again BBY bankrupt in 3 years is unlikely though
five year CDS trade the company like single B. I think it will be downgrade

It's a hard call. In my opinion, the biggest advantage of best buy is that
it allows you to see and buy the products in-person and immediately. I
think the tax at amazon is still lower than that at local stores, since
amazon only charges state tax, no county tax.

County tax is much lower than state tax. Here is 1.5% county tax vs 7.5%
state tax. Personally I bought electronics before on amazon only because it
is tax free. Sure BBY has other local store like Fry's, WMT, Costco to
compete, but amazon effect is so huge that I want to see if this Dec sale of
BBY can show the trend.

If the stock price going down, the div yield can not cover capital loss. If
this bond market price going south, bond holder can hold it till maturity to
have garanteed 6% return unless it defaults. If this bond price going up,

Amazing pick! Is it gone already? It is incredible to be able to get such
a short term bond with 6%, on a major name like best buy. Unless you trade
individual bonds you don't even understand how good it is.
I have been following your posts on bonds and tried out Fidelity. I made
1500 in last month alone using Fidelity screening tool, on just price
movements alone off 50k. Great bonds are extremely hard to find. You have
to run the screener many many times a day and it is like a flash sale.
Good bonds are gone in a few minutes, a hour at most.
Ultimately it is a lot of work to build a diversified Bond portfolio. I
only found 3 good bonds entire month and I screened at least 4 times a day.
My wife prefers NYC condo (it is a 4% bond with a floating coupon rate
that goes up over time, and Bond price itself goes up over time!) but there
is obviously work/risk with tenants. I have to support her so I am out for
now. But your method definitely works! I will try again once we recover
financially.

The best for individual bond is that you don't need to hold it to maturity
if the market price is going up, but you have the right to keep the fixed

You are right. Most time Wall Street or agents do not have much profit left
for individual investors. We can only earn extra money if their bets are
wrong. BBY stock went up 20% in 2 days, better than this bond entire profit
for 3 years. But the timing is so critical that only bond investors can test
the bottom without the risk as stock investors. Even you have huge profit
from the stock or real estate, you still need to switch to fixed income at
one day to lock the profit.

Investing in individual bonds not only has the systematic risks, being for
example rising interest rate, but also has the default risk that can wipe
out all your investment. It doesn't matter whether you have confidence on
the company not going bankrupt. You simply just don't know. Shit happens
from time to time.
Meanwhile, your return is only limited to such a small number. I would say
it's not worthwhile for most investors: Even if you are right 16 times in a
row (let's say 6% yield), it only takes one default to evaporate all your
past gains and some. If you want to take risk, take risk on stocks, where at
least you have unlimited profit potentials to make up for your inevitable
mistakes. Bond is supposed to reduce risk/volatility, not increase it.

It doesn't matter whether you do short-term trading or long-term holding.
Default/bankruptcy can happen anytime after you buy the bond.
Again as I mentioned, it doesn't translate to 18-24% year return. One
default, after 16 of your consecutive winnings in a row, can wipe out your
prior gains. That means you have to make right/lucky decisions at least ~95%
of the time to just break even. What are the odds that you expect those
companies to go belly up? If the odds are not significantly lower than 5%,
you don't have much of a chance if you do this long enough.
