Floating-rate bond
Reason why the page should be deleted DocendoDiscimus 20:42, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

In June '05 there was already a discussion on this. It survived, tentatively, but... There is no such concept as a 'Floating-rate bond' in the bond markets. Yes, there are bonds that have floating rate coupons, but these are universally known as Floating Rate Notes (I know, just one of those quirks of a the markets). As you'll see there's quite a substantial entry there. My suggestion would be to just have this entry redirect to the FRN entry.

 * Comment: It's not true that "floating-rate bond" isn't a legit word; if you Google "define:floating-rate bond" or "define:floating rate bond" you'll get definitions from actual investment houses and the U.S. Treasury dept. But there's no reason for a separate article, and "floating rate note" seems to be a wider usage. &mdash;Wahoofive (talk) 17:04, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
