All About Bonds
Bonds markets, unlike stock or share markets, often do not have a centralized exchange or trading system. Rather, in most developed bond markets such as the U.S., Japan and western Europe, bonds trade in decentralized, dealer-based over-the-counter markets. In such a market, market liquidity is provided by dealers and other market participants committing risk capital to trading activity. In the bond market, when an investor buys or sells a bond, the counterparty to the trade is almost always a bank or securities firm acting as a dealer. In some cases, when a dealer buys a bond from an investor, the dealer carries the bond "in inventory." The dealer's position is then subject to risks of price fluctuation.

The goal here is to persuade you that bonds have had a great run, but their best days are behind them. Get ready for the rush of money into the stock market. Stocks are the place to be!

Will a Falling Dollar Derail Your Plans for Retirement?
By Christopher Lawson How much are you willing to pay for a tank of gas? We've all watched as gas prices hit record highs, but what would you do if you filled your tank and paid by credit card only to discover on your monthly statement that you paid $80 to fill an economy car. No, this is not some future doomsday projection of oil prices. This scenario recently happened to a colleague on business in Europe. You're not planning a trip to Europe, so you ask, "Who cares?" Well, the consequences of a weakening dollar are not limited to overseas transactions. It's important for you to know exactly how the declining US currency affects Americans state-side. What does this mean to you? The US dollar is considered the world trading currency. This means that most goods and services are priced in US dollars. Any prolonged weakness will ...
