Popularity of the short time note in American markets
The short time note has grown in use over the past decade as investors seek near term returns while long term bonds fall out of favor. Yields on corporate notes run 6 to over 8 percent with some foreign issues higher, and examples include New Haven and Brooklyn Rapid Transit notes trading below par. Government and corporate renewals, market support, and federal planning aim to sustain financing for war efforts and public works.
