Where do I agree with you?I am saying that you CANNOT say that bonds are overvalued simply by comparing the market price of bonds to the nominal value of bonds, as you and Daniel Mugge have done. The market price of bonds is dependent on the coupon. Which you steadfastly ignore.
The market price of a bond tells us literally nothing about it’s true value, and therefore it is impossible to say if bonds are overvalued given the information you have provided. If you say another crash is coming, then bonds are more than likely undervalued. Both can’t be true. Your non-existent model, supposedly better than the ones the market use, is also unable to provide us what the price of bonds should be.
You post above and your repeated comments on the last blog, as well as your unwillingness (or plain inability) to answer my basic bond questions show that you have no knowledge of how the bond markets work, despite your claims that you know everything about them.

You agree:1) The market price does not tell us value, as I said
2) My model is unable to tell us what price bonds should have – as I said
3) In your last comment you said the market model cannot predict price except at a moment and I said that too
Thanks for your agreement
And I never denied coupon exists: that’s just bizarre
What I (and I think Daniel) said is it is being misvalued
It plainly is
Now you’re off here for good

back to his usual petulant self – waving the ban hammer around like a pound shop thor whilst insulting his readership. That’s the way to persuade people that you are to be taken seriously.

@moqifen – we’ll just add gilts to the long list of things Murphy doesn’t understand.
I’m assuming that he has a pension of some sort – presumably he has one of those magic ones with no stock market exposure.
@moqifen
Why does he hold gilts – doesn’t he think gilts are overpriced too, since they’re mysteriously above their true value of nominal??
If we still had perpetual bonds I wonder what value he’d say they’re worth, since the face value is never paid.
“Now you’re off here for good”
Cunt.
Well done Bill – nice one!
Isn’t the point of a model to produce an output even if it’s a range, so if his model doesn’t predict the price what is it a model of
Since gilts are quoted on the stock market anyone holding gilts has some stock market exposure.
