Understanding Financial Risk Management

Credit spreads are about the tightest they've ever been in history. High yield (aka "junk") debt is priced at very low premium to US Treasury debt, the safest asset in the world That says the bond market is just not worried about risk. So either, "everything truly is awesome"...or the market is mis-pricing risk here, perhaps dangerously so. Whether or not that's the case, it's highly unlikely those expecting a material downwards market correction will see one until credit spreads start widening. Which is why monitoring them closely is such a high priority.
