You buy a 20 -year bond with a coupon rate of 8.0% that has a yield to maturity of 9.1%. (Assume a face value of $1,000 and semiannual coupon payments.) Six months later, the yield to maturity is 10.1%. What is your return over the 6 months? Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Enter your answer as a percent rounded to 2 decimal places. Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign
