Quote from Happy Hopping:

can I ask a primitive question:

Whenever CNBC list the yield of the PIIGS nations, they always shows this:

Italy 10 year, yield 4.541% 93.968, up 1.067

Ireland 10 yr. T-note 9.231, down 0.337 -3.52%

Greece 10 yr. yield 11.946%, 68.388 down 0.097

What exactly is showing at Ireland? What is 9.231?, and what's -3.52%, don't tell me -3.52% is the yield

9.231+0.337 (Add back the change in price) =9.568 (Last closing price)

9.568-0.337 = 9.231 (Latest price)

-0.337/9.568 = -0.0352 or -3.52% from the last closing price

9.231% is the current yield; -3.52% is probably the change in yield (although could be the change in price).

thanks for the reply.

I wonder why did CNBC changes the format when they shows Ireland's 10 yr. note data

Actually, why don't you have Greek 10y up there too? It's even more attractive at arnd 12%... Surely, if you're gonna buy anything, GGBs are where it's at?

I canÂ´t get any Greek paper. So many nationalist buyers out there. You know "diaspora" buyers...

And to be honest : I donÂ´t trust the Greek tax system....
