The basics of bonds - MoneyWeek Investment Tutorials

😊😊😊😊😊

You are such a great teacher

I'm so happy I made productive decisions about my finances that changed my life forever,hoping to retire next year... Investment should always be on any creative man's heart for success in life.

This channel is an excellent resource for anybody studying economics like myself. It’s both comprehensive and easy to understand!

I love this channel. I just wish the older vids could be updated to improve video and (more importantly) audio quality. Thank you for sharing the wealth (of information) that you have! 😃

Great explanation

TRADING HAS NOT BEEN GOING WELL WITH ME, I HAVE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME AND FAILED, I TRADED ON MY OWN BUT EACH TIME I KEEP LOOSING MONEY. I DON'T HAVE GOOD STRATEGIES TOWARDS THE MARKET. PLEASE CAN SOMEONE PUT ME THROUGH ON THE RIGHT PATH.

So .. umm . The rich keeps their paws on da money... Ohh god... Bend over.

The Common Sense Glass Steagall Act and Pre-1997 Strict Banking Regulations are to be Reinstated to prevent the racketeering of mortgage Ponzi schemes.

Thanks. But inflation takes its toll. Bond issuance is one of Treasury’s sources of money. A nation that needs more money than it has looks to its Treasury to get that excess. The supply of money for bond issuance and entitlement programs and wars and other things increases as the demand increases. So whether it’s bond issuance or spending without bond issuance, the supply of money increases (inflates).

So the yield on a fixed treasury reduces as inflation eats away at the par value of the currency. Is the “real” % yield, accounting for inflation simply a reduction of the coupon rate minus the annual discount rate minus the inflation rate?

Great video!

Still hands down the best explanation. I miss the early tube formats 😔

Your comment towards the end regarding QE and central banks was very interesting - thought provoking even. Encouraging money to get out of bonds and go somewhere else.

Would you care to comment on this further, a decade later, regarding the current financial climate?

Is it intended or do the central banks simply have an arm caught between a rock (depression) and a hard place (inflation) with nothing but a rusty spork to free themselves (QE)?

I am starting to think that it is intended. I foresee a massive ‘reallocation of capital’ to truly bring us in to the 21st century.

Perhaps I’m just a nut job but nonetheless your comment on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Best regards,

It’s backed by the government so you know it’s not going to go bust lol

The kind of information they won’t explain in school. Never took a class for this information but as a day trader I’m educating myself on other information around the market. Better to learn when you have a genuine interest than by being forced in some class that only wants to weed you out.

Fantastic, thorough explanation. Well done sir 👍

You are such a great teacher and human for sharing this free, quality, education. Please keep these up forever.

At this crucial time, anyone looking to invest must do so with the proper guidance of a good financial adviser. KARINA MATTIS comes highly recommended. With her guidance i have been able to accumulate over $450k in my trading account. To find her, all you have to do is search her name on the web and drop her a message on her official website.

So the Fed buys bonds, which also pushes the price of bonds up as it decreases supply, which lowers the YTM, making them less attractive. Is that correct?

America is one big gambling casino based on debt. So who told you the government cannot go broke as the issuer of a bond? In fact, that's why they give bonds to you. They shift the risk. They let us hold the debt bomb. That way, guess who the sucker is if they become worthless?

Can we buy bonds in the primary market?

Very easy to understand, thank you Tim

But, if you hold bonds, the value of your money will have decreased over the course of the investment, due to inflation.

So why would a government like China buy bonds from the USA, instead of paying off their own debt or investing in themselves?
Are they just hedging against a crisis in their own country?

you're on fire! great vid

What’s the difference between the interest and the dividend that some bonds pay?

usa is the biggest waster of gas in the world

its a big problem

In its relentless pursuit of oil, the shale industry burns more and more gas into the air. This wasted gas exceeds the yearly demand of nations such as Colombia.

The rate of flaring in the Permian basin reached a record high in the first three months of this year, averaging 661 million cubic feet per day (MMcfd), according to Rystad Energy. That is more than double the amount of flaring for the same period from a year earlier.

boycott usa until they stop wasting all the gas we have

boycott usa today

Thanks a lot for this 🔥🔥

over a decade old and this video is teaching me so much. thank you

You're a great guy for doing this. It's difficult to take in what is said in class all the time and furthermore understand what the book is saying. I wish publishers would understand that there is a simple way to explain this kind of stuff and that they'd be doing the public a service speaking in such a way. Nobody is impressed reading text they can't understand or for that matter, using words that are ancient or sentences that sound like old english.

So great work. You're helping me through my core classes!

your uploaded video in 2011 is helping still helping people in 2021 god bless you sir

Superb bond primer.

I DONT KNOW HOW I FOUND THIS CHANNEL , BUT I AM GLAD I DID

awesome

Thank you this definitely made me know more about bonds

I hope you can use those coupons in Wetherspoons!

9 years later and STILL the best explanation on you tube! - thank you!!!

Power to the people

Thank you for this clear explanation!

Great video. Watching this in the context of Q/E. So a government that needs cash will issue government bonds to take money out of circulation/economy - lowering inflation. Then if inflation gets too low it will undergo some Q/E - creating digital money to buy up the government bonds it issued previously - freeing up money to be spent elsewhere e.g. corporate bonds and hopefully boost investment and inflation. Did i get that right? Thanks.

This video has aged well with time!!

lol I got laughed at when I started trading binary options. I was burnt out, needed a change, also wasn't expecting to be laughed out of the office when I mentioned my interest in investing in the stock market. Well, a few years later and $5.3 million in savings, I'm the one laughing now. Friends now want to know exactly what my i do to earn well I advise everyone to start trading in the stock market today for a better tomorrow that’s all I can say,thanks to Mr carlos att carlos_1uptrades on instagram . I’m making a living trading forex

Nicely explained thanks

Bonds can be quite complex. Also, as a general rule of thumb. As you get older, you will likely move more of your assets into bonds. They are not really a young persons investment of choice.

Thank you Tim! Very generous sharing of brilliantly clear knowledge here

And that is still not considering inflation

Helpful. Thank you.
