Talk:Bond convexity
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ON: How bond duration can vary with the floating rate Maybe I'm missing something on this
1st - wouldn't it belong in duration raather than convexity (if true) 2nd - floating rate bond, no mention of risk changing ==> at next reset date, bond value = face value ==> (approx) 1st and second derivatives =0 (since from one reset date to the next there is no price change)
At a minimum it needs more explanation
OK, I see now it's the term "floating rate" which confused me. Floating just means "changing," and it's not the coupon that's changing. I've "floated" the section title to remove this confusion Smallbones 20:59, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
