Hello Investing Gurus,
I'm interested in diversifying into bonds as I grow older. But investment grade bonds don't pay much. I've read about minibonds (not muni-bonds) that yield upwards of 7% and some in big companies like AT&T and Verizon. I've googled for hours to find a list of them but to no avail. I don't understand why the secrecy. Can anybody point me to a list?

Mini bonds are very risky cause they're pretty much unregulated. Mini bonds are to the bond market what penny stocks are to the stock market.
Here's some info...
