RCA's universal remote control is preprogrammed with code 000 for the TV button, the VCR button and the Cable button. The AUX button is programmed with code 037, which is for VCRs. First check to see if the preprogrammed codes work with the devices you have.
Glossary. 1  Duration: A measure of the sensitivity of the price of a bond to a change in interest rates. 2  Maturity: The number of years left until a bond repays its principal to investors. 3  Yield: The income return or interest received from a bond.  Coupon: The interest payments a bondholder receives until the bond matures.

But fixed-income investors seeking protection from a rise in rates shouldn't consider duration alone in choosing a fund. Knowing what's in the portfolio is just as important.
