The price of bonds refers to the yield right? So a higher priced bond yields more? That might be where my misunderstanding was.

yields less *

My textbook says "the lower the interest rate.... the smaller the demand for bonds." Surely if interest rates fall investing in bonds become more attractive due to higher returns?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If I may say so, that is a very simplistic opinion...

There aree so many reason people invest in Bonds and whilst of course investors ultimatley seek returns, they seek risk adjusted returns, hence in situations of risk aversion investors don't worry about buying bonds with a low yield.

JNR... I meant what the book said not you

The other thing is that investors will continue to buy bonds if they think yields will decline further....not because of the actual yield at the time

Nothing like a bit of communal showering. But most of those look like horror movie pictures (see pic 8)

One thing is for sure.

If we have ambitions to win this, no more matches like the first leg in Paris.

Well it says the prices of bonds fall as interest rates increase and vice versa. As goverments buy bonds the demand for bonds increases, increasing the price of bonds.

That can't be wrong as that is just monetary policy. But it seems a bit contradictory with other stuff.

Well if the goverment is committed to buying large amount of bonds it provides such a level of market support that investots can buy without risk, which is exactly what has happened post the fonancial crisis of 2007.........Only now if the Federal Reserve starting to scale back its bond purchases

So do interest rates fall because of bond prices increasing or vice versa? Because my book makes it seem like the latter.

the former*

I don't watch Atletico much but one thing about their shorelines in the big games (and might be wrong but just my perception) is that they always never win by more than 1 or 2, a bit like us in that respect. Quick check of the league table and they've conceded 2 less goals than us and scored 5 more in the same amount if games too.

I think he is right about the loan system.

The problem is Scudamore has wanted to change the PL loan system for ages but all the big clubs have blocked it and now the only way it looks like the loan system will be reformed is for B teams to be introduced (which I think could be far worse).
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I dont. I agree with him about third party ownserhip and excessive stockpiling of players...

but I dont see an issue with players of any age being able to go to another club on loan.

If bond prices rise the interest rate yield declines that is an undisputed fact. What causes bond prices to rise?

Many things in the shor term, but in the long term if investors believe interest rates will decline in the future then they will buy bonds today.
