In theory you can sell the bonds, but you could well be looking at a loss in doing so, especially if interest rates or inflation rise.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0 -
Whatever the risks of the bond, I hope it and Stobart are successful. They do essential work, provide real jobs, and pay a lot of tax. Just what Britain needs.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0

That attraction has faded somewhat since the Government started tinkering with the RPI calculation to reduce the cost of benefits and index linked bonds.“It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” --Upton Sinclair0 -

'Savings bond', 'entering the savings market'.
This is why I'm sceptical about these issues! They're preying on those who don't fully understand the risks they are taking.“I could see that, if not actually disgruntled, he was far from being gruntled.” - P.G. Wodehouse0
