I kind of feel that if you look at the track record of most Bonds - I mean Sean Connery obviously defined the part, and even he struggled for a while to get rid of the mantle. That`s the pitfall and it could happen to me. I`ve been working so hard, for however long it is I`ve been doing this, to try and stick to doing stuff I totally believe in and that would be wiped out. I thought, God, this is all right: I`m doing what I want to do. And that was a huge weight off my shoulders.

To me, the Bond situations are so ridiculous, so outrageous. I mean, this man is supposed to be a spy and yet, everybody knows he`s a spy. Every bartender in the world offers him martinis that are shaken, not stirred. What kind of serious spy is recognized everywhere he goes? It`s outrageous. So you have to treat the humor outrageously as well. My personality is entirely different than previous Bonds. I`m not that cold-blooded killer type. Which is why I play it mostly for laughs.

With our significant presence already in the region, and the fact that California is one of the largest issuers of municipal bonds in the country, it just made sense for us to have a trading desk in the state.

Issuers are looking to Canada to get international bond deals done. Until last year, many Canadian investors were severely restricted in their ability to buy bonds issued by U.S. and European issuers, and thus, severely constrained in their search for diversification.

If Fed Funds were expected to rise in the future, the curve would be positive with intermediate and long bonds requiring higher yields as a cushion against accelerating short rates. If the Fed were expected to lower rates, a flatter, even inverted curve might result. It`s not that this academic theory has been dislodged in recent years but it may have been asked to take a seat next to the increasingly important variable of global financial flows. These flows, no doubt, rely critically on the willingness of foreign investors to hold U.S. assets in the face of potential currency and asset price depreciation.

Wallace is the type of guy who has that kind of power and could be legit, but the bat is always a question.
