Thanks.
The base rate is refigured every 6 months along with the inflation rate. The amount to be paid totally during that 6 month period is posted. Interest is paid, I believe, Quarterly. Remember you can buy these for as little as $25. You could buy these little by little. I would suggest that you read all my past post to learn more and have links to various sites to increase your information base.
