1) " Buy" -- As it applies to Buy Us Savings Bonds Look up Trade in Wiktionary, the free dictionary Trade centers on the exchange of goods and/or services. Exchanges may take place between two parties (bilateral trade) or amongst more than two parties(multilateral trade). In its original form trade necessarily used barter and theexchange of goods and services and recognized equal value desirable to both parties.Modern traders generally negotiate through the use of a medium of exchange, i.e. money,and rarely through barter: as a result one can separate buying and earning from selling. The invention of money (and subsequently of credit, paper money and non-physical money) greatly simplifiedand promoted the development of trade. Most economists accept the non-obvious theory that trade benefits bothparties, and reject the notion that all exchange must exploit one party. Trade exists largely because differences exist in thecost of production of some tradable commodity in different locations. As such, exchange at market prices between locations benefits both. Empirical evidence for the success of trade can emerge when contrasting countries such as South Korea, which has adopted largely unfettered free-trade, with India, which has pursued a more protectionist policy. Countries such as South Korea have fared much better (whenmeasured by economic criteria) than India, and others, over the past fiftyyears.

However, in the U.S. measurement of thenumbers behind its gross national product (i.e., the National Income and ProductAccounts ), personal interest payments are not treated as "saving" unless the institutions and people who receive them savethem.
