i here the expression all the time, but cant seem to grasp what it exactly means. "i will buy at the line of least resistance."

k man np! :)

haha lol, i havent complained to anyone! complain about what exactly?

thats the paragraph if that helps any mate "If convexity bias were the only reason for the concave average yield curve shape, one would expect a barbell’s convexity advantage to exactly offset a bullet’s yield advantage, in which case duration-matched barbells and bullets would have the same...

im going through the papers now mart, theres a few things i dont understand, that i've tried searching on the web for 1. barbells 2. bullets 3. convexity if you could tell me what they mean, that would be fantastic mate! i feel im going learn alot from these papers :D

of course, sorry bro! i thought it was a full blown, book. im already reading "reminicences of a stock operator." so i thought better do one at a time :)! my father had a word with a guy about buying greece bonds, he said that they may offer 13%, but at the end they will probably only give you...

ok, so your saying they'd rather get bank loans, than issue bonds at the bottom of the business cycle? does that mean in general, bonds offer a better return at the peak?

sorry, im new ! :) what im really looking for mart, is a low risk fixed percentage return, to try and get a balanced portfolio! what would you recommend looking at mate?

lol, how wrong was i! shows you should never take anything thing for granted! and shows everything works off supply and demand. so i guess it was a stupid question, with a stupid assumption :) so when you say which bonds to buy/ sell, you mean the goverment bonds mart. so obviously when theres...
