Good Morning Michael, I may be interested in buying some US Gov. Zero coupon bonds in the near future, (I would be looking for a bond rally I am not seeing one just yet) Anyway looking at the thursday WSJ I se the Nov "24 ci bidding 20:27 asked 21:00, the Nov "24 bp are 20:31 bid, 21:03 asked . the CI's- are stripped coupon interest, and the Bp's -Treasury bonds, stripped principal. Question: the Zero's are the Ci's aren't they? could you elaborate on these and Yes I am aware that you need to make the yearly tax payments of interest accruing even though it is a lump sum payout at the end. Thanks, John
