I got your point. Still the question of what doing with spare EUR with IB remains. I do not see many options there...

ehm... not really if you borrow a fix interest rate it will be high for the current market time. If you are doing the opposite you are actually increasing the risk that you want to hedge

Well if you have bonds you can always hold them until expiration time. I am finding difficulties in understanding how ETF works in this case...

well if you have bonds information in IB you can have your hard monitor by looking at the following link: http://www.rendimentobtp.it/?adv=1#c=maturity_yr,last,volume,net_return,gross_return,convexity Prezzo is the price with a delay of 15-een minutes. Obviously denominated in EUR...

thx for the tips, I agree with you that SNB looks "solid" and yours is a nice strategy. Maybe you can protect yourself with an option in case you drop of confidence. if i find something else i will let you know!

hi all, i am not a navigated expert of IB but I am having difficulties in finding low risk assets with IB if the currency is euro.. Do you have any suggestion?

Hi, what would you recommend for "parking" a some spare Euros using IB? The account is in EUR and I would like "to keep the soldier at home" (i.e. long on EUR). Any idea?

No prob oldtime, and thx for engaging in this conversation! Still talking of the EU, is hard to find a bank that offer decent commission + leverage for EU-based bond like IB does for US. This can be translated in more costs for the EU bond older. I also have another question...

I would agree if you are not considering EU based bonds. Otherwise there is the risk to old an Italian inflation adjusted bond :) In that case ETF may provide a better differentiation, isn't it?

hi all, i am curious to know your opinion. I would like to trade european bonds, germany, france, italy etc etc. What is the best platform? I am not sure if IB support these assets quoted in USD. Any idea?
