Can anyone with a terminal plz take a look at the Credit Default Swap curves for these guys and post how bad it looks? Ty Keith :^)

What does it mean to “white label a bond house?” :confused:

Brethren: Where can I purchase retail agency bonds? - IB: Just had a talk with them, and they do not offer Agency bonds. - Schwab: Nope.. their bond offering is in the toilet. Can't even get a Treasury bond. I doubt that the discount brokers (eTrade, Ameritrade, et alia) would offer them...

Thank you… this yield curve is nuts! Like someone did a “flip horizontal.” If I didn’t know better I’d say it was an April fools joke! Makes me wonder what idiot in economics postulated that longer term means higher risk.

Series 7 first?

Hello All, How would I go about getting licensed as a fixed-income advisor? Also, how difficult is it to set up a company to take on clients and take positions for them? I'm considering going pro and starting a little bond trading house. Thanks, Keith :^) Non-professional - not licensed -...

Before you leave, try the bond markets. See the yield curve below… you can see how easy it is to bank a 5%+ yield… and with that 150iq I trust you understand Compounding Interest. Without a foundation in the bond markets I can see why you’re frustrated. Bonds are intimately connected with...

“A man needs an education, and a man has to pay for it.” I went in big for years because I wanted to feel the pain… to learn.. to take my lumps. Let the market beat me up and teach me. Not to say I wildly gambled: I always had a concept or an idea. That being said, I took a 29% loss in one day...

Thanks... called IB. I logged into the Account Portal and looked at Statments: year-to-date in my case. Bond trades up to USD1M are $5 minimum.

Anyone know how to view fees charged for a bond trade? For example, how to show the commissions/fees for a Treasury bond buy. Thanks, Keith

Ooh ok I didn’t know that

Fed rate adjustment on June 16th?

I love selling short but hate paying the fees. I don’t want to sit in a short position for too long because they can really add up. So I’m looking for a long position, or maybe an inverse ETF. Someone suggested options? I suppose I could buy way out-of-the-money puts expiring at the end of 2024.

I think they’re finished raising rates. Looks like a pause at least. How much further do you think they’ll go? Another quarter, half, or more? Also, all they have to do is make dovish statements and that will spark a move. Yes it may take years to cut rates, but even not raising rates at all...

They’re ETFs then? I was looking at GOVT (bond fund) earlier… if the Fed turns dovish and stops cranking rates this will return to at least pre-COVID levels. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GOVT?p=GOVT&.tsrc=fin-srch

Loving the 5%+ risk-free returns on near-term fixed-income securities. T bonds over 5%? Investment-grade corporates over 6%? It’s like printing money! It’s almost irrational to be in equities now. I hope the big fat belly of that inverted yield curve just keeps oozing forward. My kind of...

Any movement is good for “Investors” if they’re on the right side of the move!

Won’t the commissions be heavy? Why the VIX? Will volatility spike if a recession hits? What contract date makes sense?

Assuming a Recession, what is the play? The discussion of whether or not there will be a recession is a separate discussion. What is the place to be if a recession hits?
