Higher Rating Means Less Risk that the Issuer Will Default on PaymentsLower Rating Means Higher Risk Purchaser is
Compensated with a Higher Yield for Taking on this Additional Risk

Factors Effecting Default Risk
Earnings Variability More Volatile Earnings Could Mean a Greater
Possibility of Losses Exceeding Ability to Raise Funds
Age of the Firm If a Firm has a Well Established History of No
Defaults, Investors Have More Confidence in its Continued Success
Current Leverage Using Greater Financial Leverage Could Mean
Greater P/E Ratio But Could Also Mean that by Using More Borrowed
Funds Rises Relative to Equity, and Risk of Declines in Net Earnings Increases
