danlan2 Remember payer=put receiver=call
rhardin Because bond prices move in opposite direction of interest rates. Tricky!
charomano Payer swaption => payer fixed => if rates goes up, he will be better of borrowing (selling bonds) => put option, the right to sell a bond

Receiver swaption => receiver fixed => if rates fall, he will be better of lending money (buying bonds) => call option, the right to buy a bond
