  5. So, the price you buy a bond can go up or down and that price is related to interest rate. In simple terms, WHEN is the BEST time to buy bonds and WHEN is the BEST time to get out of bonds "permanently".?
  6. I'm starting to GET this! Thank U.
  7. I dont' find this a good explanation.

    If my understanding of this topic is correct, he should have started off with stressing more the difference between face value and Market value. i.e. 100 vs 113 (the 100 wasnt even written on the board). Then saying the 5% is the nominal yield (and even writing it on the board) then moved onto the flat yield. The latter is better understood with the former in mind.
  8. Governments do not spend tax receipts money. MS governments never need to borrow their own money! Tim misses these

  12. Great video. Can someone explain the second YTM index and why it takes $13 off over the term of the bond?
  13. A brilliant explanation. Thank you.
  14. great explanation thank you
  15. Why does flat yield ignores the price it was paid? The flat yield is lower than the coupon rate, so it is is not as if an investor would look at the flat yield and thought that he was going to get a return bigger than what the flat yield specifies. He is going to get a return of 4,4% in that example, if ceteris paribus. Can someone clarify this to me? Why is he going to loose 13 pounds every year? Because he bought the bond at a premium price and therefore has a cost of opportunity? What if that was the price market for that bond at that year and its par\face was lower was still 100 (it was issued for example 1 year ago).
  16. Bonds are a promise to pay out of future taxes.
