In finance, a 'bond' is like stock, in the sense that it pays interest to the buyer,usually property owners, who may actually have a bond levied on them. Bonds are issued at times by municipalities, school districts, etc. to produce revenue. In insurance, a 'bond' usually means a type of liability insurance. A service provider may be 'bonded' by a company in case of damage to a customer's property while they are performing a contracted job, etc.

A bond is one of the most secure investment you could choose. The most common bonds to invest into are issued by the government and consequently are extremely secure - the only instance where the government were to default would be if it was overthrown, let's hope not.
The rate on return - interest - on a bond is exceptionally low and at times just enough for inflation. Bonds have a duration in which they mature and typically they're long and grueling. Bonds are for the investors with zero tolerance and are those who are typically scared of capital markets - the big zig zags.
