buying swiss bonds?

smalltown · 07-23-2008, 09:05 PM

I can't seem to find any information on buying swiss bonds. There is a lot of good info out there on buying Canadian bonds (including a good thread on this forum) ... and I'm sure we'll see lots more after that fun Bernanke reveal ... but swiss bonds seem to be a bit more out of reach, or at least I just can't turn up any practical information on it. Anyone know a bit about this?

Call a broker at UBS or Credit Suisse? They should know...

Are you primarily doing it for the currency play? If so, you could also use FXF.

Thanks all, good advice.

I already have a position in FXF but now that you mention it, just adding to it is probably (a lot) simpler than buying swiss bonds.

As you can probably tell I have a very bearish outlook on the USD/DOW.

Thanks again!

PS, I'm fully invested in gold already but I must say PRPFX is interesting!
