Isn't the tail simply the difference between the lowest price paid at auction and the average auction price?

Lavish is the best.

Wow. You're good. You can skip the beginning.

I am pretty sure James covered auctions on either Peter or Preston's podcast some months ago. I don't know all these episodes blend into one over time.

I know. I can't keep them straight in my head.

The tail is the high yield minus the bond’s when-issued yield

Positive tail means weaker than expected demand

Larger positive tail means worse auction

High yield = low price paid but thanks for clarifying the when issued part.
