thank you!!! i actually caught the tail end of that some time ago.......regretting not seeing the whole thing or understanding why it would be important....

OK, very amateurish question on bonds.....

a tic up in the bond price means interest rate on bonds go down?

so in a bull bond market you actually want the bond price up and yield down?
but yield down means bullish for stock,
so,
there was talk to day of bond "prices" headed higher.....wouldnt that mean more good days ahead for stocks?

BUT
if i were to buy a bond fund now and interest rates rose i would basically even out........so it would seem to me to want to wait till yields were higher to get into bonds

confused ( on many levels)

Thank you, Dowscanner. The post is very interesting. It defines the general information. Especially important for the beginners is that chicago will trade a basket to protect themselves on the contracts. Therefore, the effect on chacago contracts is one aspect to know and the effect on all individual S&P500 stocks, is the other aspect; the beginners should know.
