Well, every day I look at my statements for CME, CBOT, Liffe, Eurex, Brokertec, and Cantor-Fitz reminds me that without a doubt as a speculator I get paid on price.

That's nice. And if price had moved against me, you'd sort of have an argument. But it hasn't.

Whats your target for those bonds?Because I'm tired of seeing people get into debates about all the 'reasons' they have a trade on, then they take profits as soon as it moves in their favor claiming to be for 'technical reasons'

You can be tired of whatever you like, and I'll take profits whenever I feel like.

My eyeball guess is that I might see 109'08 before expiration. Of course, I could decide to roll it forward - I'm being offered a discount to do so. No fixed plans yet.

Big D, would you care to communicate to me why you're so happy to sell bonds? What particular aspect makes you think they're a sell?

Moreover, the roll isn't about the futures price "discount".

If you haven't figured it out from the rest of this thread, you're not going to figure it out now.

I've long since put my money where my mouth is. You can do the same (or in classic ET fashion, not) as you choose.
