Corporate Bond of the Day: Goldman Sachs A pot of gold is the best pot to find. Recently, archaeologists have uncovered a remarkable hoard of gold coins, known as darics, in a terracotta pot during excavations at Notion, an ancient city in modern-day Turkey. The coins date back to the 5th century BC, a tumultuous period marked by war between Greek city-states and the Persian Empire. Buried under a Hellenistic-era house, the coins likely represent mercenary soldiers' savings, never retrieved due to their possible deaths. The coins, depicting Emperor Darius I with a bow and spear, are rare due to Alexander the Great’s policy of melting them down after his conquests. In honor of this ancient gold, today’s Security of the Day is a corporate bond for Goldman Sachs! Corporate Bond of the Day: Goldman Sachs Group bond, 30yr zero-coupon SQX-Evaluated Price: $119.150 Did you know that SQX, Securities Quote Xchange provides prices for the universe of corporate bonds every day? #corporatebonds #fixedincome #bonds

The best kind of stack? A pancake stack. The second-best kind? A muni bond bid/offer stack. There’s no doubt, pancakes are awesome. Light and fluffy. Slathered with butter. Drizzled with syrup (or drowned—we won’t judge!) Paradise. It’s a pity that September 26th—National Pancake Day—only comes once a year! The second-best stack doesn’t have its own day, but it’s still pretty great. If you’re getting muni bond data from SQX, our pricing methodology incorporates the bid/offer stack from our partner MBIS, Municipal Bond Information Services. If a bond hasn’t traded recently, we look at the recent bids and offers made on the bond, giving us a much more accurate picture of what the bond is worth. A stack that lets us price bonds more accurately than ever before? That’s as tasty as a pancake stack. Well, almost. Pancakes are pretty outstanding. Contact SQX, Securities Quote Xchange today, and we’ll make sure you get both! If you partner with SQX for muni bond data in the next 24 hours, we’ll send you a steaming stack of pancakes. On the house. #munibonds #bonds #data

Have you heard what day it is?!?!?!?!? It’s Punctuation Day!!! Whether you prefer periods, exalt exclamation points, or commend commas, today is your chance to celebrate!! There’s a reason why the written language has so many unique punctuation marks: punctuation helps us clearly understand the meaning of what we’re trying to say. It’s the difference between “let’s eat, Grandma” and “let’s eat Grandma.” Communicating clearly is very important. At SQX, we value clear communication very highly!!! For instance, we always offer full informational transparency—no matter what. If you’re getting data from a big data vendor, you won’t be told a lot of key information. What’s up with that?!?!?! But with SQX, you can rest easy; you’ll know the “how” and “why” behind every piece of data. What’s more, we respond so quickly that there’s no room for miscommunication. How does less than a business day sound?? Clear communication’s pretty nice, eh? So don’t wait! Punctuate your day by partnering with SQX, Securities Quote Xchange!!! We’re your best bet, period. #alternativeinvestments #data #marketdata

Municipal Bond of the Day: Diamond Lake, Illinois Imagine a plain of diamonds… 11 miles thick. A new study suggests that the planet Mercury may have an 11-mile layer of diamonds between its core and mantle. When researchers replicated the extreme conditions found on the closest planet to the sun, they found that graphite transforms into diamonds. Given Mercury’s high graphite content, it’s probable that the planet has an 11-mile-thick layer of diamonds. While mining these diamonds isn't feasible due to their depth, occasional volcanic activity might bring some to the surface. In honor of Mercury’s diamonds, today’s Security of the Day is a municipal bond for Diamond Lake, Illinois!

Corporate Bond of the Day: Mars Incorporated Talk about a “groundbreaking” discovery. NASA's Curiosity rover just changed how we think about Mars by driving over a boulder. To the surprise of astronomers, the rock shattered, revealing pure sulfur crystals. This discovery is unprecedented on the Red Planet, as previously detected sulfur compounds have always been mixed with other minerals. Scientists are puzzled because the conditions required to form pure sulfur crystals don't match the known history of the location. The unexpected find—comparable to discovering an oasis in a desert—is sparking excitement and further investigation into Mars' geological history. In honor of this Martian sulfur, today’s Security of the Day is a corporate bond for Mars Incorporated!

Reason 1 of 6 to go with SQX: Transparency What’s one of the biggest challenges in the financial data industry? Understanding the origin of pricing data. Many big data vendors don’t share how the prices you receive were created, leaving you to blindly trust them. You’ll just have to hope that they aren’t disguising old prices as new ones (as some big data vendors have a history of doing). With SQX, this worry becomes a thing of the past. We ensure that you’re always in the know. If you’re after our quoted prices (structured notes, alternative investments, and catastrophe bonds), we’ll give you all the info you need, including the data’s source and age. For SQX-evaluated prices (muni bonds, corporate bonds, U.S. treasuries, and global yield curves), we’re always willing to share the relevant details behind the prices you receive, giving you clear insights into the “how” and “why” behind every piece of data. No matter what, you can count on getting crystal-clear transparency from SQX. #municipalbonds #fixedincome #data

Security of the Day: Structured Note linked to Under Armour Inc Not all dinosaurs walked the earth. Some burrowed beneath it. Paleontologists have recently discovered a dinosaur (“Fona herzogae”) that—unusually—probably lived underground. The discovered fossil had physical traits indicative of burrowing, such as large biceps and strong hip muscles. Even more intriguingly, skeletons of this species are often found in a burrowing position. This subterranean dinosaur was about the size of a medium dog. In honor of this underground dino, today’s Security of the Day is a structured note linked to Under Armour Inc!
