I work in a call center for a software company. Our manager is a real jerk. He often yells at my coworkers and me, telling us to work faster or stop making mistakes in our tracking paperwork. If one of us gets up to go to the bathroom or take a break, he shouts that the company isn't paying us to goof off.
Spread. a) the difference between the price a market maker will buy and sell a gilt (bid/offer spread); and b) the difference in yield between two bonds, (e.g. the 10s/30s spread will refer to the difference between the yield on a 10-year bond and a 30-year bond).onventional gilts: open to all Gilt-edged Market Makers (GEMMs) who alone are allowed to make competitive bids by the Bloomberg bond auction system. Successful competitive bidders in conventional gilt auctions are allotted gilts on a bid-price basis, paying the price they bid.
A barrow is a young castrated male hog; a gilt is a young female hog. Both are raised for pork. Market news reports of prices paid for barrows and gilts are of keen interest to producers and packers alike.
