The section at 8:42, having just covered the yield spread, is unclear whether a high yield spread is a good thing or a bad thing. I make this point because In the first example with the put option, the investor opts for the lower yield spread as a result of the lower risk involved, in the second example, there is also the preference for the lower risk option, and in the final statement on prepayment options, all that is said is that: there is the increased risk to the investor that comes with this option. Is this section then highlighting the use of spreads as a tool for comparing securities as well as a risk detection method? I was originally of the opinion that having a higher yield would be more attractive to an investor or do all investors go for the less risky option? The videos have been very good.
