About BondSquawk
Thanks for stopping by and checking out the action here at BondSquawk. Our aim is to provide an unbiased view of one of the largest (but under reported asset classes in the world) – The world of bonds.
On our BondSquawk blog and community forum, we will study, analyze and report anything bond or macro related. (BUT WE NEED YOUR HELP)
Our mission is to encourage an active dialogue amongst the investing public while leveraging the Internet to create a flow of information to help make us all better investors. We invite you to join our community. We encourage you to speak your mind – ask questions or bring answers.
So who are we and why do we care?
We are a team of experienced bond market peeps and journalists who are concerned about the lack of transparency in the bond markets. Retail investors have always been kept in the dark far too long and we believe now is the time to shed some light on the subject. You no longer have to be a Wall Street insider to understand the market opportunities that await you.
Work with us and together we will shed some light and learn from one another about the intricacies of the Wall Street profit machine….the bond markets.
Our Team
Michael Chuang is addicted to trading and is especially passionate about the bond markets. After 10 years of professional experience selling and trading bonds on Wall Street, he grew tired of his friends and family never understanding what he does for a living.
Bonds seemed far too foreign of a topic for most investors…even investors who have many years of experience trading stocks or forex. So Mike decided to do something about it. He combined forces with Rom Badilla and they created BondSquawk.
If you have an interest in bonds, the market or if you just want to learn more – please join Mike by reading, conversing and contributing the BondSquawk community.
