  3. Yep... I think it's roughly $40b per basis point worth of duration. That's big, if it's true.

  4. I ment ticks not points. Like from 126'3 to 126'0 I call 3 points Which is 6 ticks

  7. So I have shorted the ZN in relatively biggers size than usual and I am feeling quite insecure at this point. Is there anyone to tell me that I will be OK?

    :eek:

    P.S. I am sick of the 2, 5 and 10 going up and up and... up

  9. When the pain is unbearable. But probably on the next step up I will give up with my tail between my legs.

    Failed to understand that QE inflates both, the stock market and the treasuries.

    I hope the unemployment comes good or .... :mad:
