The emphasis is on clarity and brevity. We don’t want to waste your time with a 20-minute video that could easily be so much shorter.

One of the best teachers I've come across....in any subject. This along with the two Bond Basics videos has made simple for me a concept I have struggled for years to understand. Thank you Tim!!

Hi Tim I like your videos, you have a very simple and clear way to explain things so it is easy for anybody to understand the concepts. I would like to see a video of how a stock dividens affects the p/e ratio over time. Thanks

@rupaalsingh4047 8 жыл бұрын

Thnx for the insight... Another way to put it Tim, in my opinion, is that for an upward sloping yield curve the long term interest rates are considered to be higher than short term interest rates and vice versa for an inverted yield curve.... hence all about market expectation of short term interest rates that are extrapolated to arrive at the projected long term interest rates.

Ideally would like something that would prepare me for a professional qualification. Thanks. x

1. at 4:41 , as you give them your money for a longer period, why does that make sense for the gov't to pay you more later. What do they do with that money for a longer period to afford to pay you more? Is it because they have the possibility to invest it somewhere else? 2. Isn't the US in debt? What are they doing about that? How does issuing bonds help them, if the person buying the bonds is making a profit out of them on the longer run? Not sure if this one makes sense.

But what is the logic / reasoning behind a short term yield curve going up higher if the FED has not raised rates? Does it reflect higher short term market risk? If so, then what is the driver of that higher perceived risk? - Furthermore, when the short term rate suddenly goes up and the curve flattens that encourages demand for bonds, but as demand increases rates should adjust and go back down leading to money flowing back into equity markets, right?

Duration and convexity measure the sensitivity of bond prices to interest rate movements. Duration measures the average term of the bond. Generally speaking the greater the duration of the bond the greater the sensitivity of the bond price to interest rate movements. If interest rates are going up you want be holding short duration bonds. If interest rates are going down you want to be holding bonds with greater duration. Follow the link for more info.

@saeedseghosime6624 8 жыл бұрын

I don't understand why an increase in price of Long term bonds ALONE is a reaction to lowered interest rates, if people are looking for an alternative home for their money, why not look at long, medium and short term bonds. if that happens the curve should retain it's normal shape but drops lower as yields across the board are reduced. Please help.

@greekparadise1816 8 жыл бұрын

I think the guy confuses himself and all of us by saying that the YTM equals the Current Yield. At 10:32 here writes on the board the formula of CURRENT YIELD=Return / Price (annual return for the purchase price) which is absolutely different with the more complicated formula of YTM (total return till maturity). Please, correct me if Wrong.. thanks

@di.vineapple 8 жыл бұрын

+Greek Paradise where did he say YTM is equal to current yield, I think he just tried to associate inverted curve effect to the yield overall.

Hi . 15.9.2018 and Greece is still in big troubles. Bigger troubles than seven years ago i.e. the debt/gdp is higher :-) Would be much better if north Europeans would run the country , or else have to establish a permanent bail out mechanism :-) Did this happen before to any other nation? permanent mechanism of bail out Greece perpetually , sounds good. The politicians have tax free high salary and hundreds of extras that can be 15.000-30.000 euros per month. The two major parties of Greece own about 400.000.0000 Euros to the banks. These parties do not pay nothing back.

As an investor who plays the US stock market and completely understands the yield curve and the yield curve inversion, I would say this video is a terrible explanation of the yield curve. Theoretically it sounds right on an academic level but it is really extremely terrible.
