Anybody else short US 30 Bond

Discussion in 'Financial Futures' started by richard_m, Dec 18, 2007.


  1. Are there any inverse bond yield (10 or 30 year) etf's that accomplish the same thing? I believe that long bond rates & as well as the cost of borrowing will skyrocket. I prefer an etf to a futures contract or a mutual fund. Thanks.

  3. I'm short and not loving it. My feeling is tomorrows data will be like Sept. Big rally. If we take out 120-03 we'll see 120.25.

  5. Im still short 10yr from 117.01 looking to take profit around 116

    Suprising how the treasury market fails to hold its bid for too long (other than today). Its obvious worst case senario is already priced in.

    Also sold mar 10yr 114/118 strangles for 53

    PIMCO along with other big boys appear to be selling these strangles in both mar and june (around 13K so far) along with 116 and 117 straddles in mar and june (around 14K so far). So they are thinking a chop trade for a few months. Should be excellent intra day trading :D

    Traded 'em long on the release, and shorted 'em in the 120's.

  9. Kind of a tame response to the number.

    Might see some selling over the next few weeks.

    So what do you think about the 5x5 on the DOM vs. the 10x10 we used to have? Any thoughts or concerns about the upcoming reduction in tick size?
