If You Don't Understand Bonds, You Don't Understand Money

Everyone watches the stock market — but the bond market is larger, more nuanced, and absolutely crucial to the economy.

I’ll explain what the bond market is, how it works, and why understanding bonds is important if you want to understand inflation, interest rates, recessions, and also the price of assets like real estate, stocks, and crypto.

I’ll cover what a bond is, what yields are and how they work, and why this market is so important to banks, governments and investors.

  1. When I first got into trading, I didn’t see any real results at the beginning. It was frustrating, and I almost quit. Later, I decided to start again, this time by attending proper classes and really learning how the market works. That’s when everything changed. Now I truly understand trading, I can see how much I’ve improved, and I’m finally making real profits. Crypto has completely changed my mindset and my life, and I’m glad I didn’t give up.

  2. The government should are unlikely to default because they can just issues the money. They don't have to get it from , they can just create it . That's it's a The Actual inflation

  3. A commenter mentioned below that governments just create money. He is right. Read "The Deficit Myth" by Stephanie Kelton. Also ask yourself "If money is limited why do we always have enough for unnecessary wars, tax cuts for billionaires and the "debt" continues to rise (currently near $41 trillion) and nothing happens?"

  4. The yield is also a fixed dollar amount. It's percentage depends on what the bond sells for. The dollar amount stays the same. Currently investors are trying to unload their bonds and are willing to sell them for less than they bought them. What they sell them for is the new bond market value. The percent of the yield is based on the new bond market value but it stays a fixed dollar amount.

  5. This guy is a paid actor with an AI bullshit script. Like most people promoting alternative investments, LSF leverages populist biases against financial elites, promising you not only riches but a way to fight wealth inequality, challenge the dominance of large financial institutions, and to just generally make a political statement. In reality, you're more likely to blow up your savings on speculative 'vibe' assets, like crypto or gold, than beat the returns on a major stock benchmark, to say nothing of the brain damage sustained from listening to this guy.

  6. The explanation doesn’t discuss that governments cannot go bankrupt and the presentation mistakes bonds as the source of income for governments. Bonds are forms of security for large investors and high net worth individuals. The government of the U.K. or USA prints its own money and so can not go bankrupt. Those governments tax people as one method of preventing inflation. This is how our economies work. This is MMT.

  7. not sure how this could have been explained any worse. Designed to confuse , and take you in circles , move on. Some people just have the knack of talking without ever telling you anything.

  8. I've hit $170,590. I was having this exact conversation with my son the other night-generational wealth isn't just about getting money. It's about teaching everyone not only how to make it, but also how to maintain it. It does no good for me to provide for my family if they don't understand how to manage and sustain it

  9. Bonds China has dumped American bonds on the open market BONDS are a scam it serves the interests of a imperialist fascist regime or a tiny rent a crowd minority…………… good bonds come from a REEL economy like China ,Russia and Africa and now Iran ,Yemen ,Palestine ,Garza and Lebanon where the fascist greedy have been DEFEATED by the democracy world led by China , Russia and Africa ………Australia is in default they are COOKED

  10. If you understand money, you understand the lie, and you find the truth 😂 Old greedy people telling you to believe their lie, your system is rotten from fondational principles. 😘 All of this is paper, old fart.
