I don't know which investment is the right one. I've always wanted to try something but I'm afraid it will end badly. I feel stupid for coming here for help. But, I'm sure that here I will get help from someone who is already investing
@1:57 did you forgot to mention "before the bond matures" ?
The biggest global markets are money and real estate. Not art or financial services or tech platforms. I happily leave those to others. Analysts that are unfamiliar with digital assets; specifically the bitcoin network, are probably missing out. It's a huge space. I'm bullish with a 5-10 year view. To be consistently profitable, algomodels will have to be re-trained periodically and constantly to find new patterns. That becomes an impossible task for old-school traders who are still trying to find patterns manually. Algorithm is the only way to go ! Prior to meeting Callum Lucas, I've suffered a series of trading losses. His AlgoSignal strategies have been extremely profitable for my crypto trading as I've watched my portfolio grow by six figures under his guide.
GOD Loved you enough too send His Son JESUS for you and if you will believe in Him and at baptized in THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON and THE HOLY SPIRIT and turn from your sins you will be ( if you haven’t already)
yakuza operate in japan inpune transfering corporate money into pedofilic pornography. nothing is done about it. 2 busy sanctioning the russians that DONT want lgbtq in they country. vote for ukraine who want nato in ukraine to force lgbtq on russia.
boycott japan now until yakuza is no longer institution.
why economy doing well then interest rate going up, it gotta be opposite
The example says the stock market rises with a rise in yields and yields rise with a rise in interest rate. How do people keep on investing in stocks instead of the dollar in a risk off scenario ? Like isn't the stock index market a negative correlation to the dollar index ?
Love these short educational videos. Great stuff.
We are approaching the end of the long-term debt cycle. In my opinion in this phase, holding debt assets are super risky including bonds. There will be definitely devaluation of currencies which cuts the purchasing power of currencies. This defeats the aim of investing (preserving purchasing power & achieving growth)
the narrator shouldn't use the word "SHE" this video should be flagged for sexism. An investor can also be a He or an IT.
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.
When you derive every possible capital investment you could possibly make, the one which is the ‘safest’, is the bond from the country with the strongest government (US). All investments are then analysed to that yard stick. That’s why it’s vital.
If Fed cuts the fed funds rate, bond yields should decrease. However, since the economy is so strong, no one wants to tie money up in bonds, so shouldnt bond yields increase instead? Confused.
why are you using she? did you just assume her gender!?
Amazing video, A friend of mine referred me to a financial adviser sometime ago and we got talking about investment and money. I started investing with $120k and in the first 2 months , my portfolio was reading $274,800. Crazy right!, I decided to reinvest my profit and gets more interesting. For over a year we have been working together making consistent profit just bought my second home 2 weeks ago and care for my family.
That's assuming that there are buyers
Crypto currency and NFTs will outsmart the banking system in the nearest future serving as a global fiat. Already making over 85% profit from my current investment, all thanks to Mrs Karina Hilas.
if the bond yield is affected by the interest rate which is adjusted by the fed, would it be safe to say that we can just look at the interest rate and ignore the bond yield when predicting economy performance?
bonds yields? there are several. The coupon yield, current yield which is calculated in the yield curve, yield to maturity, which is hoe much ppl get if they hold the bond to maturity. this calculation takes market price of the bond, and there is a realized compound yield. Duration and convexity are also important for bonds. there are also many types of bonds, ie, Z bonds, I bonds etc. this video covers the current yield of bonds.

This is better than most content. But on a deeper level this still doesn’t explain anything. A word on the logic of risk might help.
Propaganda 101.

It's incorrect to conflate a bond's coupon rate with its yield. These are two different metrics, and using these interchangeably is what's confusing.
