Thanks for the help Jon, I know that we have several lurkers who are trying to learn and I've found that no one explaination works for everyone. Some people prefer 1 or 2 key points that they can focus on to learn, others (like engineers, God bless their hearts -g-, want a methodical step-by-step approach. I do too many times, but then I also sometimes get overwhelmed. Learning and information integration occur in increments. Bit by bit. Kind of like seeing an impressionist painting and then seeing more in it over time. John

Jon, Is there a simple math equation that translates what particular interest rate EDM03@95.86 projects? I ask, because 3 to 6 months hence, I'd like to be able to take a quote and 'see' what the market thinks the future will look like. Knowing that the market thinks 91 day yields on euroCDs look to be 4.14% next June helps, when considering what to do with maturing cd's. Understanding that the market occasionally gets it wrong, and unexpected events may shift outcomes.
