Steve Shaw's Webinar with Fidelity:

What Is Bondsavvy Live?

Posted by Steve Shaw updated

BondSavvy Live is a bond investing education webinar exclusive to BondSavvy subscribers, which we host three to four times each year.  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.  In addition to receiving access to our exclusive corporate bond recommendations, BondSavvy subscribers can access all prior editions of BondSavvy Live.

Many BondSavvy subscribers are new to bond investing, so many BondSavvy Live 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.

* From 7:54-9:05, we lost sound. We were alerted immediately through chat, so nothing important was discussed during this time.
** At 24:13, Steve meant to say that Macy's had a 41.5x leverage ratio rather than a 41.5% leverage ratio.

Regarding Slide 9, subsequent to this edition of BondSavvy Live, we began recommending bonds in the energy sector.
