- The relationship between yields for discount bonds: Yield to Call > Yield to Maturity > Current Yield > Nominal Yield.
- The relationship between yields for premium bonds: Nominal Yield > Current Yield > Yield to Maturity > Yield to Call.
- The tax treatment of annual accretion on a secondary market municipal bond, which is considered ordinary income.
- That one basis point equals 0.01%, and a 10 basis point change in yield typically results in a $1 price change on a $1,000 bond.
