- Does anyone have information on LYONs (Liquid Yield Option Notes)? I have
- recently had a broker call me on these notes which provide a minimum return
- of 6.5% and an unlimited maximum return. From what I understand, it is a note
- that you purchase with a specified maturity date and is somehow associated
- with a stock. At or before the maturity date, you can cash in the note at
- current price of the stock or convert to a bond. Any and all information
- would be appreciated. Thanks.
