No, it's not a particularly violent form of MMA. And it's not a new synthetic street drug popular at raves. Instead, MSCI is a company that provides investment analysis tools, including a number of well-known equity indices.

The firm started business in the late 1960s under the name Capital International. It formed a partnership with Morgan Stanley in the 1980s that led to the name change: Morgan Stanley Capital International, or MSCI.

The company is best known for indexes focused on various parts of the emerging world. Specifically, MSCI publishes the MSCI BRIC index, which covers the countries of Brazil, Russia, India, and China. It also provides an emerging markets index, tracking performance in two dozen emerging market countries.

well Barron's is an old-tiny publisher of Wall Street data and today it's a

stodgy magazine catering to sophisticated financial readers well the [Magazine of barron's confidence index]

00:17

magazine has fiercely opinionated readers and it began to take advantage

00:21

of them first with simple old-school polls managed by its journalists before

00:27

computers were really a thing and then it began to codify an index the densely

00:32

packed brain power that it was surveying as to where the markets and the world

was heading so one outcome of this outbound research effort was the bond [Bond index equalling Barron's confidence index]

index or Baron's confidence index which is calculated by dividing the average

00:47

yield to maturity on what is generally double-a and triple-a grade bonds by the

00:53

average yield to maturity on what is generally double B ish grade bonds got

00:58

it? So triple A double A over the triple B'ers.. Well why would

01:03

you do this strange calculation in the first place

01:05

well it reflects its audience's attitude about credit risk the presumption among

01:11

pretty much everyone is that the safe bet ie US government paper is just a [100 dollar bill stamped safe]

01:16

reflection of inflation more or less and everything else or at least all other

credit is pegged to that very safe US paper so it sets the standard against

which the riskier credit is measured it's stable since the Barron's index is

01:31

a bond risk index it is in essence a calculation of its audience's confidence

just because times are good and people are buying you know stuff [People walking in a shopping mall]

are often competitors who are doing well and who would likely acquire that

company maybe not for a huge premium but at least they'd pay off the company's

are narrower and the ratio is higher.. well think about the intermediate

bond yields but when the ratio is high and increasing it means that faith and [Bond yield graph appears]

02:29

the economy is growing right because that denominator yield shrinks because

grade triple B's instead of having to yield 12 percent yield like ten or eight
