This weekend I am taking a small deviation from my regular commentary on the financial woes of a 20-something to talk about an important project in the works: Slash Declare.

Last week I had the pleasure of attending a press conference where three financial industry innovators met to discuss the changes needed on Wall Street. They also announced the launch of a new project called the SlashDeclare Initiative.

Companies are signing on to the SlashDeclare Initiative, vowing to bring transparency and accessibility to the financial industry.

At Durig Capital, we have developed a process to screen, review, select, purchase and monitor high yielding corporate bonds. Each week we screen thousands of corporate bond listings to find what we believe to currently be the best corporate bond for investors needing or seeking higher yields with the least amount of risk as possible relative to its projected return. The following is our review process, along with supporting documents, showing why we believe this remarkable 10% bond with a longer 7 year maturity Tutor Perini passes the criteria for our clients.
