I DO give them credit........ I am NOT questioning anyone's intelligence or resource on here, jsut pointing out that "convexity" is a ways beyond the basics of bond investing...............DURATION is something we all shoud know about...............

Kind of like "R-squared", or Sharpe Ratios on mutual funds........most people dont'care..............

If you can explain something to somebody in two minutes I don't think it's too complicated

And note that I said that "maybe" you would need to understand convexity. If you stay away from MBS and long duration stuff, it won't matter if you don't understand convexity.

Thanks MB.

Speaking of trading stocks, does anyone have any good reading suggestions on writing covered calls?
