Trader-101OP :
for you new traders bond market is essential to stabilize a long-term portfolio most of the time I don't recommend it what I do I buy commodities and futures as well as contracts on bonds option contracts is a good way to capitalize on a bond because there's not much movement usually in the bond market but this is an unusual market and for it to jump as much as it did doesn't happen very often and I didn't even look at the bond market today unfortunately
Trader-101OPLou Blacksail:
wow look at most stocks I get run out you'll see the turnover rate that's it turn over volume that means how quickly it's being bought and sold that gives you an idea of the liquidity of the stock very liquid stock means that it's easy to sell when it's a low turnover rate that means a lot of people are holding the stock and don't want to sell it so when that happens is a good indication that people are bullish on it and you should probably stay in that trade now look at any other stock this week that was highly traded large-volume for the size of the market cap and you'll notice it turnover rate is usually three to four times the actual volume of the trades that's because they were buying and selling very frequently nobody was holding long-term so when you see that on a stock where the turnover rate is smaller than the actual volume of the purchases stay in that trade you don't want to sell off yet
Trader-101OPLou Blacksail:
I thought you were referencing your stock that you point it out to me the bonds those are great buys it works just like any other market you pick up on that you want to purchase and usually you might see one at 3% on a decent day not very much upside in it but lately the market so volatile and unstable that interest rates are fluctuating in this case JPY fluctuated 562% now you could buy options on them just like a equity that's what I do because of the fact that they don't move very much and an option on that wood has skyrocketed thousand fifteen hundred percent if not more buy bonds are good way to anchor your portfolio they don't gain very much but they don't lose very much either so it balances a steady increase even if it's only one that 3% daily it's Daddy profit which balances out your risky trades in equities
Trader-101OPLou Blacksail:
if you're looking for something that will steadily give you gains what little risk this is one I normally trade on a regular basis $iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT.US)$ but like I said I buy option contracts on them I don't trade pain some selves because minimum movement and options Hill game you know 5 to 15% on a good day versus the one to 3% on a bond
