I would like to know how (if) one may find them listed in a typical newspaper business section, how to evaluate their purchase price and risk, tradeoffs between corporate bonds and "STRIPS" - government backed zeros. Your comments and advice are most welcome. ARPA: RIZZI@ISIB UUCP: decvax!cca!ima!ism780b!billr
