Can you answer benshaft79’s question about Bonds?:

I’m planning on holding the position until maturity. For example, I want to short a 5 year treasury. I get the value of the bond today, I pay the interest payments to the person I borrowed the bond from, and then I pay the principal at maturity. What are the risks? I’ve idendified two risks 1) interest rates go down, price of the bond goes up, and my maintenance margin goes up, and 2) the risk that the bond gets called away from me at an adverse time. Are there any other risks that I’m missing? Thanks!
