The perils of long-term bonds:

Press Release: press release

This e-mail notifies you that the Bureau of the Public Debt just issued a press release concerning the call for redemption at par on August 15, 2009,of the 12-1/2% Treasury Bonds of 2009-14, issued August 15, 1984, due August 15, 2014 (CUSIP No. 912810DL 9). Clicking on the [link] listed above after "Press Release" should take you to Public Debt's Internet page of a PDF version of the actual press release. If the link does not work as described, copy and paste the address into your browser window.

(Yeah, yeah, I know, all "bonds" are long-term. If they were shorter-term, they'd be "notes." But it got your attention, didn't it?)

This e-mail notifies you that the Bureau of the Public Debt just issued a press release concerning the call for redemption at par on November 15,2009, of the 11-3/4% Treasury Bonds of 2009-14, issued November 15, 1984, due November 15, 2014 (CUSIP No. 912810DN 5).

Press Release

TREASURY CALLS 11–3/4 PERCENT BONDS OF 2009-14
The Treasury today announced the call for redemption at par on November 15, 2009, of the
11-3/4 % Treasury Bonds of 2009-14, originally issued November 15, 1984, due November 15,
2014 (CUSIP No. 912810 DN 5). There are $5,015 million of these bonds outstanding, of which
$3,820 million are held by private investors. Securities not redeemed on November 15, 2009,
will stop earning interest.

These bonds are being called to reduce the cost of debt financing. The 11-3/4% interest rate is
significantly above the current cost of securing financing for the five years remaining to their
maturity. Using current market projections, Treasury estimates gross savings from the call to be
about $2,000 million.

Payment will be made automatically by the Treasury for bonds in book-entry form, whether held
on the books of the Federal Reserve Banks or in Treasury Direct accounts. Bonds held in
registered form should be mailed directly to the Bureau of the Public Debt, Definitives Section,
Customer Service Branch 3, P.O. Box 426, Parkersburg, WV 26106-0426. For more information
concerning called registered bonds, you may contact the Definitives Section at (304) 480-7711.

Press Release

With the current market yields/rates, I would guess this type of [former] long bond with a high coupon would have had a current market value well above par to bring the yield down to the market yield/rate. Does this mean anybody who bought one of these bonds say the week prior will only receive par from the Treasury and effective be shafted?
