the present value of an $1000 treasury bond, 5 years to expiration, yielding 9%, dude, with all due respect, you need to learn about bonds. 5yr T yield is around 3%. if you don't know the diff between coupons and yields; between callable and noncallable bonds; between Yield To Maturity and Yield To Call; and so forth, please look into these things before reaching any conclusions. the book "Fundamentals of the Bond Market" is a good source of basic information.
