Lance Whittingham IV specializes in buying deep discount bonds. These represent bonds that are trading at well below par value. He has his eye on a bond issued by the Leisure Time Corporation. The $1,000 par value bond pays 7 percent annual interest and has 16 years remaining to maturity. The current yield to maturity on similar bonds is 12 percent.
