About this episode
Bond Fundamentals — learn it while you move.
Bonds show up everywhere on the SIE and Series 7, and memorizing a couple of definitions isn't enough. In this episode of SIE Exam Beats, we're going deep on the bond concepts you actually need to understand for the exam — using music, repetition, examples, and the hooks that make this stuff stick.
We cover par value, coupon rates, bond prices, premiums and discounts, current yield, yield to maturity, accrued interest, interest-rate risk, credit risk, callable and convertible bonds, and more.
You'll also lock in some of my favorite exam shortcuts:
Rates UP → Bond prices DOWN.
Rates DOWN → Bond prices UP.
LONG AND LOW, BABY!
Long maturity + low coupon = greater interest-rate sensitivity.
And when you're looking at credit risk, don't just ask “What does it pay?”
Ask:
CAN THEY PAY?
Put this episode on while you're at the gym, walking the dog, driving to work, or whenever you can steal some extra study time.
This isn't meant to replace your textbook or practice questions. It's designed to reinforce what you're already learning and make it harder to forget when you're sitting in front of the real exam.
