Miss Yahoo asked:


Suppose that you have a client that is very risk adverse. He is 50 years old and has a 20+ year investment time horizon.

Despite his risk aversion, he wants to generate a rate of return greater than that of the current money market. His existing portfolio is invested 100% in bonds.

Assuming that this is all that you know about the client, would you advise that he add equities to the portfolio? Why? How much?

Many people have lost their houses and savings. Shouldn’t professional lenders explain interest rate risks to less sophosticated customers? In Wall Street, financial professionals can be sewed for buying investments that are too risky for certain investors. Why is this not the case for lenders?

preferably the subprime bonds prior to the collapse in the credit markets.

I understand the basic relationship of risk and spread, but would much appreciate a concrete example that demonstrates the movements of these two variables (ratings and price) that leads to the appearance (price/yield/spread) of a given bond.

Just trying to get a visual in my head. Haven’t found what I am looking for through regular google search.

Obama called for a Homeowner and Financial Support Act that would provide funds to prevent catastrophic failures in the financial industry and help keep people in their homes.

First of all, Investment banks were all the discussion on the German television. You invest and take the risk.

People, I guess, signed variable rates to interest only loans and were expecting the value of the house to increase some 10-20% in the year are now going to get bailed out.
