The higher the spread the greater the fear that your counter party in a transaction may default on his obligation. Wide spreads are a sign that there is a lot of fear that banks may not be able to fund Scott Grannishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14028519647946868684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-83605200594602375482010-05-27T17:57:17.511-07:002010-05-27T17:57:17.511-07:00Hi Scott,

I understand the spread is the difference between the two, and I'm pretty sure swaps always refer to the trading of a variable to fixed rate(at least I believe so). Not quite understanding the logic behind them though. <br /><br />Can you explain in Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385766340913067835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6616959642391988608.post-80660445795872042982010-05-27T17:10:51.614-07:002010-05-27T17:10:51.614-07:00You're very welcome!

It is not just the charts but also the interpretation of them that I find of such value. Some of us do not agree with many of your conclusions but regardless of our various beliefs and biases your analysis challenges our beliefs and Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11652253509768573561noreply@blogger.com
