I am trying to get a sense of investment grade credit spreads. Is there something available (such as an index) that could give me such an indication.Thanks

Trader Joe.You have a good sense of humor. "I see. OK. Ummmm..."?? I have heard of google. Have you heard of helping a newbe with a question or do you get more of a quick rush from talking down to them?FYI. I used google initially, before coming to this sacred forum. And, I did use the all-mighty google to find the Ittrax site, and I did read what I could about these indicies. I obvioulsy don't have the superior intelect of a "Trader Joe", and I guess my little peon brain could not figure out from google or this site how Ittrax related to actual Investment grade credit spreads, or maybe I am just too stupid to figure it out. ...But "I see. OK. Ummmm..."Isn't that what a forum like this is for? Thanks for taking 2 seconds out of your day (I am sure you could have made zillions of dollars in that time)! I will get out of your sandbox and take my inquiry elsewhere. Carry on.

Go to the markit website, what you want is itraxx europe and the IG cdx indices
