I've actually started writing what will become a thread as I mentioned, that will go into a lot more detail, like I did for the Mutual Fund thread, but this subject is frankly MUCH deeper than Mutual Funds and since fixed income securities encompass numerous individual types, it is going to be a LOOOOONG OP!
I've just been putting it off for so long, partly because I am really busy these days and partly because I see it as a daunting task and I have yet to just simply get my nose to the grindstone, so to speak. Of all the things I learned about when I was a broker, bonds fascinated me the most. If I could go back 30 years, I would have studied and sought out a position as a bond trader - that's how much I love the subject.
It is deep and complex and there are forms of debt securities the average investor has no idea about. These are the kind of things I want to illustrate and clarify for the audience of this forum.
It might not be until Spring before I get it done, but I'll make a commitment to work on it a little every week.
Again, thanks very much for the compliment.
