		The calculation of YTM is identical to the calculation of internal rate of return.
		If a bond's current yield is less than its YTM, then the bond is selling at a discount.

	Yield To Maturity Definition (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		A bond’s yield to maturity is the overall rate of return that the bond earns if purchased at today’s market price and held until its maturity date.
		Yield to maturity includes both the yearly interest the investor earns, and the difference between what the investor paid for the bond and the amount the investor receives at the bond’s maturity.
		Yield to maturity is often referred to as the yield or basis, so a 5.00% yield to maturity means the same as a 5.00% yield or a 5.00% basis.

		Both bond’s durations decline as interest rates rise, with the duration of the 10-year bond and the 10-year bond about the same at a yield to maturity of 21 percent, just as the percentage price change of a bond will decline at higher yields in response to a given change in interest rates.
		Maturity Effect: The longer the maturity of an instrument, all other factors the same, the greater (more negative) the value of Macaulay’s duration.
		Applying this to the bond data in Table 1 and using the 7 percent ytm, 10 year bond at the par value of $1,000 and considering a change in rates of 0.5 percent (50 bp), the value of the actual proportional price change is -3.51 percent (Table 1).

	Path to Investing — Yield: Yield to Maturity (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		The most accurate measure of the long-term yield on a bond investment is its yield to maturity (YTM).
		While yield to maturity may be too complex to figure on your own, the current yield to maturity is reported regularly online and in the financial press for the most frequently traded issues.
		The reason is that bond funds don’t have maturity dates or fixed interest rates since they hold a portfolio of bonds with different terms and rates.

	Bond Yield to Maturity (YTM) Formula
		One thing to notice is that the YTM is greater than the current yield, which in turn is greater than the coupon rate.
		If you buy such a bond the yield to maturity you'll get on your investment naturally increases if you can buy it at a lower price: as they say, bond prices and yields "move" in opposite directions.
		If somebody says "10 year treasuries were down today", they probably mean that the asking price was down (so it was a bad day for bond holders); but they sometimes mean that the yield to maturity was down because the asking price was up (a good day for bond holders).

		The [YTM] key calculates the Yield to Maturity of a bond, expressed as percentage of par.
