Hi I was missing the broker fees. The whole cost of the hedge should not be more than 1% year. Am I right? Can anybody help please?

I have an easy question to ask forex traders. I want to open an account with interactive brokers in EUR (which is the currency i hold) and buy some US stocks in dollars. I want to hedge the credit risk of the dollar stock position opening a long position on the pair EUR/USD and keep it for the...

Hi, I would like to buy some US corporate/municipal investment grade bonds via a US broker. I just want to know how much those bonds will be taxed in UK and if it will be with CGT or or with income tax. If it goes with the income tax will be this cumulated with the income of my job or is a...

Thank you very much for your explanation

Thank you for the answer. I think I have made some mistake doing calculations. Can you just confirm this: YTM should be the annualized return of a bond including the bond price (if is sold at discount or premium). Is this suggesting that a bond with a ytm of 6% and maturing in only 2 months...

Hi Martinghoul, I hope you or anyone else experienced in the forum could review that table and tell me what you think. It could be honest mistake or willful ignorance (not arrogance), but I would like to understand what is wrong in the calculations, or if there is anything else I am not taking...

I agree that there are a very few bonds that fulfill the criteria over thousands and thousands but with these and continuing the ladder with similar bonds and keeping the ytm/month at 0.5 or more all the time should you not make 6% p.a. before leveraging 2:1?

This could be the list with the BBB At the maturity of the first bond after less than a month the list would be updated and a new bond could be bought to replace the matured one with a similar or higher ytm/month rate.

I did not mean to upset you. Just give a look to the figure. Could not this be the list for the first 9 months? Including the BBB the list is longer.

Am I wrong?

If I pick only bonds with at least YTM/months to maturity > 0.5%/month (i.e. 1.5% and maturity 3 month, there are many investment bonds with these values). 0.5% x 12 months = 6% p.a.

Nobody can help? Please.............

Hi All , I am quite new to the finance world and I would like your opinion on the following idea for a conservative investment. If I invest on 5-10 different AA-BBB grade US corporate bonds with the aim of buy and hold to maturity choosing the ones that have a ratio between YTM and months to...

Do you think that the 40 put will be assigned anyway even if the price is gone up lets immagine to 35 or 38, whatsoever below 40?

II suppose that as whatever other ITM put it could be exercised. But the thing that let me doubt about this is that the option was already bought deep in the money so the fact that this is still in the money does not mean that whoever has bought it will make a profit exercising it. Would you...
