Symmetric matrices \(A\) and \(B\) are congruent (i.e. there is a non-singular matrix \(C\) such that \(C^TAC=B\)) if and only if \(A\) and \(B\) have the same inertia. They have the same number of positive, negative and zero eigenvalues.Theorem 1.
The product of a symmetric positive definite matrix \(A\) and a symmetric matrix \(B\) has the same inertia as \(B\)Proof
Note that \(A^{-1/2}ABA^{1/2} = A^{1/2}BA^{1/2}\). The right hand side is similar to \(AB\), which means they have the same eigenvalues. Since \(A^{1/2}\) is symmetric, the matrix \(A^{1/2}BA^{1/2}\) is congruent to \(B\). By Sylvester's Law of inertia, the eignevalues of \(B\) have the same inertia as \(A^{1/2}BA^{1/2}\) and also of \(AB\).
For real positive definite matrices, not all of them are symmetric! For example, given a symmetric positive definite matrix \(B\) and a anti-symmetric matrix \(C\) (\(C^T=-C\)), the sum of which (\(A=B+C\)) is positive definite. Extra care must be taken. All references of positive definiteness are within the context of symmetric matrices.

Clarify your goals, gain knowledge through spaced repetition, preserve health, work steadily, minimize stress, refuse interruption, and never resist sleep when tired. This should lead to radically improved intelligence and creativity.
The central tenet of Bond Market investing is that prices and yields move in opposite directions. Bond prices go up when Bond yields go down, and vice-versa.
Pursuant to this relationship, Bonds are often considered "counter-cyclical" securities, meaning that Bond prices tend to be high and yields tend to be low when the economy's performance is poor. This factor is probably the single most important reason for having some Bonds in your portfolio.
Though there is a great deal of overlap, distinction needs to be made between factors affecting interest rates and factors affecting the price of an individual bond. Interest rates shift in response to a number of factors including: the demand and supply for credit, Federal Reserve policy (monetary policy), fiscal policy (government budgeting and expenditures), tax policy, exchange rates, general economic conditions, price inflation, perceptions and forecasts for future inflation and a host of lesser factors.
Individual Bond prices are not only affected by all of these factors, but additional ones as well. These factors include: supply and demand for the specific issue, liquidity of the issue, special characteristics of the issue, credit quality, perceptions and forecasts for changes in credit quality and a host of lesser factors.
