Prices and Yields (required rates of return) have an inverse relationship
When yields get very high the value of the bond will be very low.
When yields approach zero, the value of the bond approaches the sum of the cash flows.

Holding Period Return versus YTM

Changes in rates affects returns Reinvestment of coupon payments Change in price of the bond

Holding-Period Return: Single Period
HPR = [ I + ( P0 - P1 )] / P0
where
I = interest payment
P1 = price in one period
P0 = purchase price

Example (Single period analysis)
CR = 8%
YTM = 10%
N=10 years
Semiannual Compounding
What is HPR when the rate falls to 7% in six months?

Mortgage Example
Say you are interested in buying a 2-bedroom condo in Boston. The price is $300,000. You have a 30-year 3.5% APR mortgage with 20% down payment.
(1)What would be the monthly mortgage payment?
(2)What if you have 15-year mortgage with the same APR?
(3)Suppose you could rent the place out and the rent you collect will cover your mortgage payment. What would be the annual return of your investment if the condo value stays constant.

Credit Default Swaps
A credit default swap (CDS) acts like an insurance policy on the default risk of a corporate bond or loan.
CDS buyer pays annual premiums. CDS issuer agrees to buy the bond in a default or pay
the difference between par and market values to the CDS buyer.

Credit Default Swaps
Institutional bondholders, e.g. banks, used CDS to enhance creditworthiness of their loan portfolios, to manufacture AAA debt.
CDS can also be used to speculate that bond prices will fall.
This means there can be more CDS outstanding than there are bonds to insure!
