this channel that I watch for entertainment is getting dangerously close to sounding like my university corporate finance courses lol
-
I think you are the only finance YouTuber that can make a video about treasury yields and still make it very entertaining. Great work
-
I like hearing about sticking to my long term goals to weather the storm. That effectively translates to “don’t have to actually do anything”, appealing to my lazy nature.

Canadians explaining US markets to Americans, there’s something poetic about this.
-
Economists have successfully predicted 13 of the last 6 recessions

I like facts even if they're "boring" so thank you

This is an impressively clear and coherent explanation of Treasury dynamics.
-
I really appreciate you explaining these things in a way that makes sense
-
Thanks Richard for another down-to-earth detailed explanation. I am a big fan of your work.

Thanks for having the Basics section in there for those of us that are still learning! Really appreciate it
-
I'm really glad I can get the full view from The Plain Bagel before I've even heard the breathless predictions. I'm not interested in the average finance channel's perspective. You provide what few channels can!
-
Your narrative on such topics you assume to be "boring", is really what makes your videos interesting and informative to watch & stay till the end. Thanks as always Mr Bagel 👍🏻
-
Always content of the highest caliber. Thanks again.
-
I really appreciate and need the steady hand approach these videos provide. I’m new to the market and to receiving pay based on equity, so it can be panic inducing. These videos help keep it in perspective.

Appreciate the analysis without sensationalising or trying to sell a narrative like many other finance channels.
-
One of the best videos I've ever watched explaining treasury bond yields! Kudos to you, you've made over 130k people better informed off of this.

Thank you i finally understand inverted yield curves now❤
-
That jingle at 1:40 makes you seem like a financial superhero "Captain Compliance! Calming fears with sound financial strategy and unsensationalized market analysis." Your channel is awesome dude! I show it to everyone who is trying to understand the economy and markets. Keep up the great work 😄

Rising yields also signifies resource constraint in the economy. That is, the opportunity cost of government spending is higher. Unless you think the government spends money very efficiently, that means lower growth and productivity.
