Fertility friendly, weight loss friendly and great for PCOS!
So I just noticed that for the past 3 months, all I have blogged about is food. I guess my French side is really coming through. On a side note, there seem to be a lot more of you reading my blogs lately, so obviously you are as obsessed with food as I am.
There are many ways which help improve your fertility and chances of conceiving. Following a diet plan by eating fertility boosting foods, getting healthy amounts of sleep and sticking to a exercise routine all help. There is one natural treatment which has shown to double your chances of conceiving when following fertility boosting lifestyle modifications.
One of my favourite ways to "invent" new recipes is to walk through the mountain of over-priced "healthy junk-food" at Whole Foods and read labels. In the last few weeks I've come across a few bombshells, so I bought the ingredients and got busy.
I see too few men in my practice. I enjoy treating women and see great success with my fertility patients but could see more success if men were more active in the treatment process.
We've been having this nature vs nurture argument since time immemorial: are we born a certain way, or does our environment inform who and what we are? And what does this have to do with fertility and preconception care?
The longest day of the year is fast approaching, Summer Solstice marks the official beginning of summer. In Chinese medicine, Summer is associated with the Earth element, which on a physical level embodies the support, strength and solidity of our muscles, tissues and organs; healthy flow of blood in vessels; and digestion of our food and fluids into energy and nutrients.
The first thing you find out when you google 'PCOS diet', is that people with PCOS are often insulin resistant and need to help regulate their blood sugar levels by eating a low glycemic diet. What does that mean as far as your diet goes? No sugar, limited carbs, more protein, more greens and more good quality fat.
Easy right?
I was reminded of a patient I had seen a while ago and I wanted to share her story to help encourage those who have endometriosis and are trying to get pregnant. Endometriosis is a stubborn problem and many of my patients come in extremely discouraged and frustrated. There is hope!

Oh, the Internet.
A brilliant and amazing hot mess collection of all things fun, annoying and interesting.
And while the Internet is without a doubt one of the best inventions and resources known to man, it is also the most annoying, frustrating and mind-boggling, due largely in part by how it's used.
Yes, we get a lot of great things from the Internet; recipes {you guys see how quickly I go right to the food?}, parenting advice, news and current events and so much more. Unfortunately, we also get the not-so-great posts and sharing of information that most of us could go our whole lives without seeing, and that's what I'd like to talk about today. I know this post has been written a million times in a million different ways, but it bears repeating once more because damn – some people just don't get it. How anyone can live in the year 2016 and not understand that the Internet is PERMANENT is beyond me.
ONE. Potty Training Pics. Having gone through the potty training phase, I get it, I really do. There's nothing you want more than to shout from the highest mountain, "I did it! My child can pee in a toilet!" but really, we can all go without seeing that shit {literally}. There is nothing I hate more than happily scrolling through my social media feeds, enjoying the pics of everyone's cute kids and lives to only be met with that one God awful kid sitting on the shitter picture. And you get extra lame-o points if you caption said picture with something like, "Oh my God, I know this may sound silly but I just think my child is the cutest when she's on the potty!"
Don't laugh. I have seen this with my own eyes. Cut that shit out.
TWO. It Works! Wrap Pictures. Let me say this first and foremost. Congrats on your budding business and weight loss. Truly, all good things to be proud of, but what's not cool? Those mid-section wrap pictures you guys like to whip out on us un-expectantly. No one needs to see anyone's muffin top wrapped up in plastic like a Thanksgiving ham. I've seen private parts, scars and enough stretch marks to last a lifetime, and I say this as a woman with extra weight, a C-section scar and stretch marks. Want to lose me as a follower? This is the quickest way to do it. Put a wrap on your follower count and watch it shrink.
Cut that shit out.
THREE. Farmville Game Requests. I'm amazed that even after as long as Facebook has been around, people still play this game. For the 100th time, No, I do not want to help you plow your fields. No, I don't care that your pigs need fed. NO – I don't want to play. Stop complaining you never have any time and very simply…
Cut that shit out.
FOUR. Posting Facebook Legal Notices, Spam and Taking Satirical Stories Seriously. For those of you who struggle with this, let me give you a tip. There's this nifty little site you can go to called Snopes.com to look up whether or not a story is legit or fake. It takes all of two seconds to type in your query and voila! Instant answers to whether or not what you're getting ready to post is factual or fake. For quick reference:
· Facebook legal notices are fake. When you sign up to use Facebook, you agree to any and all of their terms of use. Don't like it? Delete your profile and stop using Facebook. It's as simple as that.
· Satirical sites such as The Onion.com are meant for humor and sarcasm, nothing more.
· Stop clicking on links that say "You won't believe what this dad found his daughter doing!" These are scams and attempts hackers make to get to your computer. Plus, we all get a notice on our timeline of what you tried to watch. #embarrassing #awkward
Bottom line, cut that shit out.
FIVE. Complaining About Your Boss & Job. Every time I see one of these posts, it takes everything I have to not comment, "You are an idiot." Sure, you feel all big and bad sitting behind that keyboard venting about your personal issues but imagine how you're going to feel when your boss finds out and as a result, you're jobless. Extra lame-o points go to those of you who also post these comments – from where else – your office...where your company has the right to scan your computer any time they want. Keep complaining publically about how much you hate your job and guess what? You just might not have it to worry about.
I've seen it happen. Cut that shit out.
SIX. Posting Personal Information on Professional Sites. There is a reason the old saying, "Don't mix business with pleasure" is still relevant. No potential or current employer wants to see links to the party you went to on Friday night where you were completely inebriated. Nor do they want to see your drama, dating issues or anything of the like. Keep your LinkedIn profile professional, bottom line. If it isn't business related, it shouldn't be there – period.
Do you have things that you feel shouldn't be shared on social media or the Internet? What drives you crazy to see?

My spin: FYI and quite interesting.
NY Times News Clip: COLONIAL HEIGHTS, Va. ó It is probably just a coincidence, but when Circuit City decided to modernize its store here, it moved a quarter-mile away and built a store just across the street from a Wal-Mart.
What is far from a coincidence, however, is how much the inside of the new store resembles a Wal-Mart.
In this model store, as Circuit City calls it, customers grab merchandise from metal shelves and toss it into shopping carts. The staff on the floor are now hourly workers rather than higher-paid commissioned sales clerks. The front of the store is filled with forklift pallets piled with $45 DVD players and $99 televisions, much as they are in that big store across the street (full story)

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 11, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aberdeen Global Income Fund, Inc. (NYSE MKT: FCO) (the "Fund"), a closed-end fund, today announced that it will pay on January 11, 2013, a distribution of US $0.07 per share to all shareholders of record as of December 31, 2012.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121106/NE07292LOGO )
Your Fund's distribution policy is to provide investors with a stable monthly distribution out of current income, supplemented by realized capital gains and, to the extent necessary, paid-in capital.
Under U.S. tax rules applicable to the Fund, the amount and character of distributable income for each fiscal year can be finally determined only as of the end of the Fund's fiscal year. However, under Section 19 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") and related Rules, the Fund may be required to indicate to shareholders the source of certain distributions to shareholders.
The following table sets forth the estimated amounts of the sources of the distribution for purposes of Section 19 of the 1940 Act and the Rules adopted thereunder. The table has been computed based on generally accepted accounting principles. The table includes estimated amounts and percentages for the distribution to be paid on January 11, 2013 as well as the cumulative distributions declared fiscal year to date (11/01/2012 - 11/30/2012), from the following sources: net investment income; net realized short-term capital gains; net realized long-term capital gains; and return of capital. The estimated composition of the distributions may vary from month to month because the estimated composition may be impacted by future income, expenses and realized gains and losses on securities.
Estimated Amounts of Current Monthly Distribution per share ($)
Estimated Amounts of Current Monthly Distribution per share (%)
Estimated Amounts of Fiscal Year to Date Cumulative Distributions per share ($)
Estimated Amounts of Fiscal Year to Date Cumulative Distributions per share (%)
Net Investment Income
Net Realized Short-Term Capital Gains *
Net Realized Long-Term Capital Gains
Return of Capital
Total (per common share)
*includes currency gains
The Fund estimates that it has distributed more than its income and capital gains; therefore, a portion of your distribution may be a return of capital. A return of capital may occur for example, when some or all of the money that you invested in the Fund is paid back to you. A return of capital distribution does not necessarily reflect the Fund's investment performance and should not be confused with "yield" or "income."
Shareholders should not draw any conclusions about the Fund's investment performance from the amount of the Fund's current distributions or from the terms of the distribution policy (the "Distribution Policy").
The amounts and sources of distributions reported are only estimates and are not being provided for tax reporting purposes. The final determination of the source of all distributions in 2012 will be made after year-end. The actual amounts and sources of the amounts for tax reporting purposes will depend upon the Fund's investment experience during the remainder of the fiscal year and may be subject to change based on tax regulations. The Fund will send you a Form 1099-DIV for the calendar year that will tell you how to report these distributions for federal income tax purposes.
The following table provides the Fund's total return performance based on net asset value (NAV) over various time periods compared to the Fund's annualized and cumulative distribution rates.
Average Annual Total Return on NAV for the 5 Year Period Ending 11/30/2012
Current Fiscal Period's Annualized Distribution Rate on NAV1
Fiscal Year to Date (11/1/2012 to 11/30/2012)
Cumulative Total Return on NAV
Cumulative Distribution Rate on NAV1
1 Based on the Fund's NAV as of November 30, 2012.
While NAV performance may be indicative of the Fund's investment performance, it does not measure the value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund. The value of a shareholder's investment in the Fund is determined by the Fund's market price, which is based on the supply and demand for the Fund's shares in the open market.
Pursuant to an exemptive order granted by the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 30, 2010, the Fund may distribute any long-term capital gains more frequently than the limits provided in Section 19(b) under the 1940 Act and Rule 19b-1 thereunder. Therefore, distributions paid by the Fund during the year may include net income, short-term capital gains, long-term capital gains and/or a return of capital. Net income dividends and short-term capital gain dividends, while generally taxable at ordinary income rates, may be eligible, to the extent of qualified dividend income earned by the Fund, to be taxed at a lower long-term capital gains rate. If the total distributions made in any calendar year exceed investment company taxable income and net capital gain, such excess distributed amount would be treated as ordinary income to the extent of the Fund's current and accumulated earnings and profits. Distributions in excess of the earnings and profits would first be a tax-free return of capital to the extent of the adjusted tax basis in the shares. After such adjusted tax basis is reduced to zero, the distribution would constitute capital gain (assuming the shares are held as capital assets).
The payment of distributions in accordance with the Distribution Policy may result in a decrease in the Fund's net assets. A decrease in the Fund's net assets may cause an increase in the Fund's annual operating expenses and a decrease in the Fund's market price per share to the extent the market price correlates closely to the Fund's net asset value per share. The Distribution Policy may also negatively affect the Fund's investment activities to the extent that the Fund is required to hold larger cash positions than it typically would hold or to the extent that the Fund must liquidate securities that it would not have sold or hold securities that it would liquidate, for the purpose of paying the distribution. The Distribution Policy may, under certain circumstances, cause the amounts of taxable distributions to exceed the levels required to be distributed under the Internal Revenue Code (i.e., to the extent the Fund has capital losses in any taxable year, such losses may be carried forward to reduce the amount of capital gains required to be distributed in future years; if distributions in a year exceed the amount minimally required to be distributed under the tax rules, such excess will be taxable as ordinary income to the extent loss carryforwards reduce the required amount of capital gains distributions in that year). The Fund's Board of Directors has the right to amend, suspend or terminate the Distribution Policy at any time. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Distribution Policy may affect the Fund's market price per share. Investors should consult their tax advisor regarding federal, state and local tax considerations that may be applicable in their particular circumstances.
Circular 230 disclosure: To ensure compliance with requirements imposed by the U.S. Treasury, we inform you that any U.S. tax advice contained in this communication (including any attachments) is not intended or written to be used, and cannot be used, for the purpose of (i) avoiding penalties under the Internal Revenue Code or (ii) promoting, marketing or recommending to another party any transaction or matter addressed herein.
Closed-end funds are traded on the secondary market through one of the stock exchanges. The Fund's investment return and principal value will fluctuate so that an investor's shares may be worth more or less than the original cost. Shares of closed-end funds may trade above (a premium) or below (a discount) the net asset value (NAV) of the fund's portfolio.

With billions of sensors deployed worldwide, the amount of machine-generated data will soon exceed what our networks can handle. But consumers and businesses will expect seamless experiences and real-time responsiveness. What does this mean for IoT devices and the infrastructure that supports them? More of the data will need to be handled at - or closer to - the devices themselves.

Web Real-Time Communication APIs have quickly revolutionized what browsers are capable of. In addition to video and audio streams, we can now bi-directionally send arbitrary data over WebRTC's PeerConnection Data Channels. With the advent of Progressive Web Apps and new hardware APIs such as WebBluetooh and WebUSB, we can finally enable users to stitch together the Internet of Things directly from their browsers while communicating privately and securely in a decentralized way.

Gamasutra's postmortem of City of Heroes and Paragon Studios says the MMO's development staff did everything it could to keep the game running—including trying to buy it from publisher NCSoft—and that plans for one final update were shot down right before the game was closed on Dec. 1.
Matt Miller, the former lead designer of City of Heroes, told Gamasutra that at first Paragon was brokering a deal to find a new publisher for the game, which debuted in 2004 and moved to free-to-play in 2011. A prospective buyer did enter into some kind of talks, but that went nowhere. A group of 20 Paragon employees then opened talks to buy out the game and keep it alive.
Miller said Paragon, whose 80 employees were all let go when City of Heroes was shuttered, was still trying to buy the game from NCSoft when word was sent in August that it would all be taken down by the end of the year. Paragon was trying to acquire not only City of Heroes but also two other unnamed projects that NCSoft still owns.

A Male Schnauzer-x presently Not Yet Available
Gus has experienced a lot of turmoil in his life in the past few weeks. Luckily a Good Samaritan brought him to us; he had been sitting in an animal control facility with a broken leg. Gus may have had a very sketchy past but Animatch has promised him a bright future. Orthopedic surgery was done on his leg and Dr. Plasse, the Animatch Vet, foresees a good recovery. As we get to know Gus, we will provide more information on the type of home he requires. Terriers can be loud and Gus likes to express himself, so no apartments or condos. If you are interested please fill in the on-line Adoption Form.
Animatch's primary source of funding for extra veterinary procedures is found through your generous donations. We are so appreciative that you always get involved – and our dogs are, too! We want to carry on our mission of helping dogs in need, including those who need additional care. We hope that you will continue to find it in your heart to assist dogs that rely on humans for their help.

So, BEFORE filling out the Animatch adoption form, find out whether you're ready for a dog, or would be happier with a goldfish instead: Fill this great questionnaire now to find out if you are ready for a dog.

Syria's President Bashar Assad said there is a "significant" chance he will seek a new term and ruled out sharing power with the opposition seeking his ouster, in an exclusive interview before the Geneva II peace talks.Speaking to AFP Sunday at his presidential palace in Damascus, Assad said he expected Syria's war to grind on. Assad appeared at ease, wearing a navy blue suit and smiling regularly throughout the 45-minute interview.Assad, 48, came to power in 2000 after the death of his father Hafez, who ruled for nearly 30 years.Assad warned of the consequences if his government lost the war.Assad also defended the role of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, whose fighters are battling alongside his troops, noting that combatants from around the world had joined the opposition.But he said the withdrawal of all foreign fighters was "one element of the solution in Syria". Despite his diplomatic isolation, Assad confirmed that Western intelligence agencies had reached out to his government on the issue of counterterrorism. Assad added that his children, like other Syrian children, asked difficult questions.

My husband wanted to kayak while we were in Grand Cayman, so we booked a tour with Cayman Kayaks. Tom was an absolute joy to kayak with. He genuinely enjoys what he does and is always willing to adjust to his audience, answer questions and give you an education on the ecosystem there. Our group was diverse in both background, age and physical capabilities and he handled it perfectly. I definitely recommend his tour over any others there. His genuine enthusiasm is infections. Thank you, Tom!

Expedition Reaches Destination; Wildlife Corridor Work Continues By Michelle Z Walker • Apr 26, 2012 Blistered and bug-bitten, a group of conservationists reached their destination of Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in southern Georgia, on Earth Day. The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition team set out back in January, at the southern tip of Florida in the Everglades National Park. They made their way up through the sunshine state on foot, by paddle and occasionally on horseback. Their goal has been to garner attention for a vision to link Florida's already existing protected natural areas, to lands with the potential to be protected. Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition Makes Case For I-4 Wildlife Crossings By Michelle Z Walker • Apr 2, 2012 Imagine standing on the side of Interstate 4 trying to find an opportunity to cross as semi trucks whir by - only you don't know exactly what these loud, fast monstrosities are, because in this scenario you are a bear. Maybe there's a fresh food or water source on the other side of the highway, or you may have been evicted from your home territory by a bigger, stronger bear. Anyway, you've left the safety of the trees and have now come to face the dizzying bustle of the roadway. A Rough Weather Front For The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition By Michelle Z Walker • Mar 20, 2012 In a special ongoing series, WFIT has been following the journey of a team of conservationists thru Florida. The Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition's mission is to connect natural and rural lands throughout the state, for the benefit of people and wildlife. Along the first half of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition fair and mild weather prevailed. Recently, as the expedition passed a halfway point on the 1000 mile route, a bout of strong winds and rain storms made an inclement presence. Florida Wildlife Corridor: Conservation With Benefits By Michelle Z Walker • Mar 9, 2012 Why should conserving a tract of wild and rural areas stretching the length of Florida matter to people? The answer is multi-faceted: Agriculture, economics, water and recreation. Agriculture is the second biggest economy in our state, next to tourism. Florida Wildlife Corridor Expedition co-leader, Carlton Ward Jr., explains that this project depends on farms, ranches and other private lands to connect already designated conservation areas.

Casa Susegad has five guest bedrooms, three sealed with air-conditioning, and two larger traditional rooms open to the rafters with large ceiling fans for natural ventilation.
The families of old in this property slept in small bedrooms connected by only curtains to the main house on one side and the inner courtyard on the other. Cross breezes under the main roof kept them cool. Our three AC rooms – Carnelian, Turquoise and Rose – were constructed by adapting five such bedrooms, taking the opportunity to seal them to make them suitable for air-conditioning. They now open only onto the terrace, catching the morning sunshine rising in the East over the jungle-clad hillock.
The larger Host's Suite and Sunshine Room are in the North and South wings of the Casa and afford guests the opportunity to experience the fan-assisted breezes within thick walls in these grand rooms of bygone days.
Every large bed comes with a deep sprung mattress and affords sumptuous comfort in rooms that blend original Portuguese clay tiles with bright fabrics and eclectic Indian furniture. Facilities are completed by modern wet rooms fed by solar-heated water.
If you wish to enquire about a room, please take a look through the five very individual bedrooms Casa Susegad offers and fill in the booking form on your favourite room page. If you have no exact preference, then please feel free to contact the Casa from any of these pages, but make a note as to your thoughts. Alternatively, send a message from the Talk to the Casa page.

Derivatives: A Primer on Bonds
First Part: Fixed Income Securities Bond Prices and Yields Term Structure of Interest Rates Second Part: TSOIR Interest Rate Risk & Bond Portfolio Management
Bond Prices and Yields Time value of money and bond pricing
Time to maturity and risk Yield to maturity vs. yield to call vs. realized compound yield Determinants of YTM risk, maturity, holding period, etc.
Bond Pricing Equation:
P = PV(annuity) + PV(final payment) = Example: Ct = $40; Par = $1,000; disc. rate = 4%; T=60
Prices vs. Yields P yield convexity intuition
BKM6 Fig. 14.3; ; BKM4 Fig. 14.6 intuition: yield P price impact
Measuring Rates of Return on Bonds
Standard measure: YTM Problems callable bonds: YTM vs. yield to call default risk: YTM vs. yield to expected default reinvestment rate of coupons YTM vs. realized compound yield Determinants of the YTM risk, maturity, holding period, etc.
Measuring Rates of Return on Bonds 2
Yield To Maturity definition discount rate such that NPV=0 interpretation (geometric) average return to maturity Example: Ct = $40; Par = $1,000; T=60; sells at par
Measuring Rates of Return on Bonds 3
Yield To Call definition discount rate s.t. NPV=0, with TC = earliest call date deep discount bonds vs. premium bonds BKM6 Fig. 14.4; ; BKM4 Fig. 14.7 Example: Ct = $40, semi; Par = $900; T=60; P = $1,025; callable in 10 years (TC=20), call price = $1,000
Measuring Rates of Return on Bonds 4
Yield To Default definition discount rate s.t. NPV=0, with TD= expected default date default premium and business cycle economic difficulties and "flight to quality" Example: Ct = $50, semi; Par = $1,000; T=10; P = $200; expected to default in 2 years (TC=4), recover $150
Measuring Rates of Return on Bonds 5
Coupon reinvestment rate YTM assumption: average problem: not often true "solution": realized compound yield forecast future reinvestment rates compute future value (BKM6 Fig.14.5; BKM4 Fig.14.9) compute the yield (rcy) such that NPV = 0 practical? need to forecast reinvestment rates
Bond Prices over Time Discount bonds vs. premium bonds
coupon rate < market interest rates built-in capital gain (discount bond) coupon rate > market interest rates built-in capital loss (premium bond) Behavior of prices over time BKM6 Fig. 14.6; BKM4 Fig Tax treatment capital gains vs. interest income
Discount Bonds OID vs. par bonds Zeroes
original issue discount (OID) bonds less common coupon need not be 0 par bonds most common Zeroes what? mostly Treasury strips how? "certificates of accrual", "growth receipts", ... annual price increase = 1-year disc. factor (BKM6 Fig. 14.7; BKM4 Fig )
OID tax treatment -- Discount Bonds 2
Idea for zeroes built-in appreciation = implicit interest schedule tax the schedule as interest, yearly tax the remaining price change as capital gain or loss Other OID bonds same idea taxable interest = coupon + computed schedule
OID tax treatment -- Discount Bonds 3
Example 30-year zero; issued at $57.31; Par = $1,000 compute YTM: 1st year taxable interest
OID tax treatment -- Discount Bonds 4
Example (continued) interests on 30-year bonds fall to 9.9% capital gain tax treatment: taxable interest = $5.73; capital gain
Term Structure of Interest Rates
Basic question link between YTM and maturity Bootstrapping short rates from strips forward rates and expected future short rates Recovering short rates from coupon bonds Interpreting the term structure does the term structure contain information? certainty vs. uncertainty
"Term"inology Term structure = yield curve (BKM6 Fig. 15.1)
= plot of the YTM as a function of bond maturity = plot of the spot rate by time-to-maturity Short rate vs. spot rate 1-period rate vs. multi-period yield spot rate = current rate appropriate to discount a cash-flow of a given maturity BKM6 Figure 15.3; BKM4 Figure 14.3
Extracting Info re:Short Interest Rates
From zeroes non-linear regression analysis bootstrapping From coupon bonds system of equations regression analysis (no measurement errors) Certainty vs. uncertainty forward rate vs. expected future (spot) short rate
Bootstrapping Fwd Rates from Zeroes
Forward rate "break-even rate" – BKM Fig. 15.4 equates the payoffs of roll-over and LT strategies Uncertainty no guarantee that forward = expected future spot General formula f1 = YTM1 and
Bootstrapping Fwd from Zeroes 2
Data BKM Table 15.2 & Fig. 15.1 4 bonds, all zeroes (reimbursable at par of $1,000) T Price YTM 1 $ % 2 $ % 3 $ % 4 $ %
Bootstrapping Fwd Rates from Zeroes 3
Forward interest rate for year 1 Forward interest rate for year 2
Bootstrapping Fwd Rates from Zeroes 4
Short rate for years 3 and 4 keep applying the method you find f3 = 11% = f4 General Formula f1 = YTM1
Yield, Maturity and Period Return
Data 2 bonds, both zeroes (reimbursable at par of $1,000) T Price YTM 1 $ % 2 $ % Question investor has 1-period horizon; no uncertainty does bond 2 (higher YTM) dominate bond 1?
Yield, Maturity and Period Return 2
Answer: Nope Bond 1 HPR: Bond 2 HPR: f2 = 10% price in 1 year = Par/(1+ f2) = $ capital gain at year-1 end =
Fwd Rate & Expected Future Short Rate
Interpreting the term structure Short perspective liquidity preference theory (investors) liquidity premium theory (issuer) Expectations hypothesis Long perspective Market Segmentation vs. Preferred Habitat Examples
Fwd Rate & Exp. Future Short Rate 2
Short perspective liquidity preference theory ("short" investors) investors need to be induced to buy LT securities example: 1-year zero at 8% vs. 2-year zero at 8.995% liquidity premium theory (issuer) issuers prefer to lock in interest rates f2 E[r2] f2 = E[r2] + risk premium
Fwd Rate & Exp. Future Short Rate 3
Long perspective "long investors" wish to lock in rates roll over a 1-year zero at 8% or lock in via a 2-year zero at 8.995% E[r2] f2 f2 = E[r2] - risk "premium"
Fwd Rate & Exp. Future Short Rate 4
Expectation Hypothesis risk premium = 0 and E[r2] = f2 idea: "arbitrage" Market segmentation theory idea: clienteles ST and LT bonds are not substitutes reasonable? Preferred Habitat Theory investors do prefer some maturities temptations exist
Fwd Rate & Exp. Future Short Rate 5
In practice liquidity preference + preferred habitat hypotheses have the edge Example BKM Fig. 15.5
Fwd Rate & Exp. Future Short Rate 6
Example 2 short term rates: r1 = r2 = r3 = 10% liquidity premium = constant 1% per year YTM
Measurement: Zeroes vs. Coupon Bonds
ideal lack of data may exist (need zeroes for all maturities) Coupon Bonds plentiful coupons and their reinvestment low coupon rate vs. high coupon rate short term rates -> they may have different YTM
Short Rates, Coupons and YTM
Example short rates are 8% & 10% for years 1 & 2; certainty 2-year bonds; Par = $1,000; coupon = 3% or 12% Bond 1: Bond 2:
Measurements with Coupon Bonds 2
Example 2-year bonds; Par = $1,000; coupon = 3% or 12% Prices: $ (coupon = 3%); $1, (coupon = 12%) Year-1 and Year-2 short rates $ = d1 x d2 x 1,030 $ 1, = d1 x d2 x 1,120 Solve the system: d2 = , d1 = Conclude ...
Measurements with Coupon Bonds 3
Example (continued)
Measurements with Coupon Bonds 4
Practical problems pricing errors taxes are investors homogenous? investors can sell bonds prior to maturity bonds can be called, put or converted prices quotes can be stale market liquidity Estimation statistical approach
Rising yield curves Causes Interpretative assumptions
either short rates are expected to climb: E[rn] E[rn-1] or the liquidity premium is positive Fig. 15.5a Interpretative assumptions estimate the liquidity premium assume the liquidity premium is constant empirical evidence liquidity premium is not constant; past -> future?!
Inverted yield curve Easy interpretation Example
if there is a liquidity premium then inversion expectations of falling short rates why would interest rates fall? inflation vs. real rates inverted curve recession? Example current yield curve: The Economist
Arbitrage Strategies
Arbitrage Strategies
Fixed Income Portfolio Management
In general bonds are securities just like other -> use the CAPM Bond Index Funds Immunization net worth immunization contingent immunization
Bond Index Funds Idea US indices composition
Solomon Bros. Broad Investment Grade (BIG) Lehman Bros. Aggregate Merrill Lynch Domestic Master composition government, corporate, mortgage, Yankee bond maturities: more than 1 year Canada: ScotiaMcLeod (esp. Universe Index)
Bond Index Funds 2 Problems lots of securities in each index
portfolio rebalancing market liquidity bonds are dropped (maturities, calls, defaults, …)
Bond Index Funds 3 Solution: "cellular approach" idea effectiveness
classify by maturity/risk/category/… compute percentages in each cell match portfolio weights effectiveness average absolute tracking error = 2 to 16 b.p. / month
Special risks for bond portfolios
cash-flow risk call, default, sinking funds, early repayments,… solution: select high quality bonds interest rate risk bond prices are sensitive to YTM solution measure interest rate risk immunize
Interest Rate Risk Equation: Yield sensitivity of bond Prices:
P = PV(annuity) + PV(final payment) = Yield sensitivity of bond Prices: P yield Measure?
Interest Rate Risk 2 Determinants of a bond's yield sensitivity
time to maturity maturity sensitivity (concave function) coupon rate coupon sensitivity discount bond vs. premium bond zeroes have the highest sensitivity intuition: coupon bonds = average of zeroes YTM initial YTM sensitivity
Duration Idea Measure maturity sensitivity
to measure a bond's yield sensitivity, measure its "effective maturity" Measure Macaulay duration:
Duration 2 Duration = effective measure of elasticity Proof
Modified duration with
Duration 4 Interpretation 1 Interpretation 2
= average time until bond payment Interpretation 2 % price change of coupon bond of a given duration = % price change of zero with maturity = to duration
Duration 4 Example (BKM Table 15.3)
suppose YTM changes by 1 basis point (0.01%) zero coupon bond with years to maturity old price new price
Duration 5 Example: BKM4 Table 15.3
suppose YTM changes by 1 basis point (0.01%) coupon bond either compare the bond's price with YTM = 5.01% relative to the bond's price with YTM = 5% or simply compute the price change from the duration
Duration 6 Properties of duration (other things constant)
zero coupon bond: duration = maturity time to maturity maturity duration exception: deep discount bonds coupon rate coupon duration YTM YTM duration exception: zeroes (unchanged)
Duration 7 Properties of duration duration of perpetuity =
less than infinity! coupon bonds ("annuities + zero") see book simplifies if par bond
Duration 8 Importance simple measure
essential to implement portfolio immunization measures interest rate sensitivity effectively
Possible Caveats to Duration
1. Assumptions on term structure Macaulay duration uses YTM only valid for level changes in flat term structure Fisher-Weil duration measure
Possible Caveats to Duration 2
problems with the Fisher-Weil duration assumes a parallel shift in term structure need forecast of future interest rates bottom line: same problem as realized compound yield Cox-Ingersoll-Ross duration bottom line: let's keep Macaulay
Possible Caveats to Duration 3
2. Convexity Macaulay duration first-order approximation: small changes vs. large changes duration = point estimate for larger changes, an "arc" estimate is needed solution: add convexity
Possible Caveats to Duration 4
Convexity (continued) second-order approximation:
Possible Caveats to Duration 5
Convexity: numerical example P = Par = 1,000; T = 30 years; 8% annual coupon computations give D*=11.26 years; convexity = years suppose YTM = 8% -> YTM = 10%
Bottom Line on Duration
Very useful But take it with a grain of salt for large changes
Immunization Why? How? obligation to meet promises (pension funds)
protect future value of portfolio ratios, regulation, solvency (banks) protect current net worth of institution How? measure interest rate risk: duration match duration of elements to be immunized
Immunization What? Who? net worth immunization
match duration of assets and liabilities target date immunization match inflows and outflows immunize the net flows Who? insurance companies, pension funds banks
Net Worth Immunization
Gap management assets vs. liabilities long term (mortgages, loans, …) vs. short term (deposits, …) match duration of assets and liabilities decrease duration of assets (ex.: ARM) increase duration of liabilities (ex.: term deposits) condition for success portfolio duration = 0 (assets = liabilities)
Target Date Immunization
Idea Example: suppose interest rates fall good for the pension fund price risk existing (fixed rate) assets increase in value bad for the pension fund reinvestment risk PV of future liabilities increases so more must be invested now
Target Date Immunization 2
Solution match duration of portfolio and fund's horizon single bond bond portfolio duration of portfolio = weighted average of components' duration condition: assets have equal yields
Target Date Immunization 3
Target Date Immunization 4
Target Date Immunization 5
Dangers with Immunization
1. Portfolio rebalancing is needed Time passes duration changes bonds mature, sinking funds, … YTM changes duration changes example: BKM4 Table 15.7 duration YTM % % %
Dangers with Immunization 2
2. Duration = nominal concept immunization only for nominal liabilities counter example children's tuition why? solution do not immunize buy assets
An Alternative? Cash-Flow Dedication
Buy zeroes to match all liabilities Problems difficult to get underpriced zeroes zeroes not available for all maturities ex.: perpetuity
Contingent Immunization
Idea try to beat the market while limiting the downside risk Procedure (BKM6 Fig ; BKM4 Fig. 15.6) compute the PV of the obligation at current rates assess available funds "play" the difference immunize if trigger point is hit

Questions Your Wine Expert Doesn't Mind Answering
Total Articles: 65
People have a love-hate relationship with wines, but some are just too eager to move on to the next bottle. Such situations, among many others, identify who wine lover and the wine expert is. Easily, trained wine professionals or sommeliers or can spot the difference. When you have just discovered a love for wines, be ready for the wonderful world of knowing and tasting the classic drink people adore.
Speaking of surprises, a sommelier – someone whose passion for wines has become a job and a lifestyle – will impress you. Taking you far beyond the basics of wines, where they come from, their varieties and the best food and cheeses to pair them with, a sommelier is expected to know every bottle in the cellar and help you choose the best one for you.
Wine experts can attest to the fact that when it comes to wine, you will be pleasantly surprised in many ways. When in a restaurant known for its outstanding bottles, you can ask the wine expert whatever it is that you need clarified about the wine you will be having for the night. Trained sommeliers can tell you interesting things about wines, and you will leave the diner learning more than you think you already know.
Here are some questions you can ask:
Saying "I think kind of wine is just amazing. Do you have anything similar?" enables the sommelier to easily select the best for you, as you have given him or her clearer idea of your preferred taste. You can expect to be provided detailed information about the full spectrum of your preference.
When you ask "I've never heard of this type; what's to love about it?" you are giving the wine expert an opportunity to talk endlessly about the bottle, which is basically what she or he does. When dining with a group, this question may sound embarrassing, but you never know others are dying to ask it too.
"Which wine goes best with the food we ordered?" This is fairly common, and sommeliers love answering them time and again. They're good at it and will give you a straight and satisfying answer. It's what they have been trained to do – help you get the most out of your wine experience as you dine in their bistro or restaurant.
When you want to experience what the majority is enjoying, you can ask "What is everybody drinking now?" and the wine expert will gladly tell you the best-selling bottles they have, and the good reasons why they are. They will tell you too, the best dishes in the menu that can go with this choice.
It is important to exercise care and caution when asking the wine expert attending to you (and be polite – that is out of the question). Also, you need to be honest about how far you know certain bottles as well. Diners who are familiar with wines know how and what to ask, while some simply pretend to know; you bet you sommelier can tell!
In deciding to seek a sommelier's help at a dinner, you have the freedom to ask and take advantage of his or her expertise in everything from the herbaceous Sav Blanc to the fairly light and fruity Pinot Noir. Ask what you must, and make dining with your favorite wine an experience you will never forget.
