how do you calculate debentures? (using a financial calculator)—Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:{{{1}}}|{{{1}}}]] ([[User talk:{{{1}}}|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/{{{1}}}|contribs]])
[edit] Proposed merge
social security is the current means of credit for U.S debt Disagree Debenture has a very specific meaning in the United Kingdom in relation to the issuing of debentures to finance arts and sports venues, and in terms of debenture holders (eg for Wimbledon, Wembley Stadium and the Royal Albert Hall) who get tickets and other privileges (the Google search for debenture ticket gets 85,000 results [1]). This meaning is simply not covered by Bond (finance), and I certainly wouldn't think of looking there for information about it. Humansdorpie 09:06, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
Disagree - and in America (and most other places) a debenture is a particular type of bond - as explained in this article. I'll remove the "proposed merger" tag in a week if nobody objects.Smallbones 10:35, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
- removed the tag. Smallbones 15:10, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Clarification?
I'm trying to figure out what this sentence means: "The advantage of debentures to the issuer is they leave specific assets burden free, and thereby leave them open for subsequent financing." Could someone please clarify it? Specifically, the phrases "specific assets" "burden free" and "subsequent financing" sound like gobbledygook. Thanks. --RealGrouchy 21:43, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
i think it means that no assets will be secured with a debenture, allowing them to be secured in further financing transaction - I am aware that this might mean gobbledygook to you as well but neverthess........ —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.101.164.220 (talk) 05:42, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the attempt; it's a step in the right direction.... what does it mean to secure an asset? Is that anything like collateral? -- RealGrouchy (talk) 23:19, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] misleading
"A debenture is usually unsecured in the sense that there are no liens or pledges on specific assets. It is however, secured by all properties not otherwise pledged" The above is slightly misleading. if a debenture is not secured then it is UNsecured, and debenture holders will be an unsecured cerditor, coming in front of preference and ordinary shareholders.
The above sentences is slightly misleading. I propose to change it if nonone objects.
