| ashish100 | So glad I get this now. Here's my thought process. Time UP -----> Duration UP (positive relation) Duration UP -----> YTM DOWN (inverse relation) Lower YTM means its a discount bond. |
| ashish100 | shit lol totally disregard what i said above. misread the question completely |
| ashish100 | also i know. lower YTM than coupon is premium bond. wish there was a delete button here. |
| khalifa92 | the exception is that the effect of low coupon payments outweighs the effect of long time maturity for discount bonds |
I just wanted to share the good news that I passed CFA Level I!!! Thank you for your help - I think the online question bank helped cut the clutter and made a positive difference.
