Why would I buy a bond with a negative yield?
It would be preferable to purchase a bond with a negative yield if the negative yield was the smallest compared to similar financial securities. The purchase or sale of a security is rarely a mutually exclusive event.  An individual may have personal reasons or a desire to contribute to the activity the bond is financing.  To an entity, the negative yield bond may be part of a cost averaging plan, diversification strategy, a single leg of a multi-leg transaction, or possibly to aid certainty as a hedge in a pairs trade.  And of course there may be other unique situations specific to the entity. Said another way, is the Queen of Spades a good card?  It depends on the game being played and what is in your hand.
