What Is BondSavvy Live?

BondSavvy Live is a bond investing education webcast exclusive to BondSavvy subscribers.  Prior to each edition of BondSavvy Live, BondSavvy subscribers submit corporate bond investing questions to BondSavvy founder Steve Shaw, which he then answers during the BondSavvy Live webcast.  Many BondSavvy subscribers are new to bond investing, so many questions are about bond investing basics.  There are also a good number of questions about current corporate bond investment recommendations and other advanced bond investing topics.  Please watch a previous edition of BondSavvy Live on this page.  Please note that this webcast was previously known as BondSavvy Office Hours.

* CLARIFICATION: At 46:01, Steve meant to say “that’s why there are cases of some shorter-dated bonds having higher yields to maturity”
