fifty cents on the dollar

Does the above mean you're 'getting' a fifty percent discount?
Thanks.

Thanks, CJ. Should I have put quotes around discount instead? It's not actually a real discount, is it?

You might have done that, but I wouldn't say it's required.

No. Not that I know of. I'm not an expert on stocks and bonds.
