sorry but what does the interest rate stands for ? it is different from the coupon ? Isn't the coupon rate prescribed from the beginning of the "contract"?
@smokenfly514 Interest rates typically move alongside inflation (as one goes up, the other goes up). The tricky part, for investors, is when the Fed does things to manipulate that process. For example, to help the economy rebound, the Fed can artificially keep interest rates low.
Ahhhhh... fuck... Thank You... I have a midterm on this shit next week.... I been looking all over youtube for this shit.... Fuck your awesome!!!!!!!!
So basically, when interest rates are going up, as they are now, bonds are a bad investment, because in general their prices will fall? Am I understanding correctly? So when the economy is suffering, their prices go up, but afterward it's better to turn to equities?
If it's that simple, how can you speculate and play around with bonds rather than just buy and hold?
thx a lot. this really helps a lot, esp with the sub-titles for non-english speaker like me. keep it up.
