    If ZB doesn't find a bottom soon I could see low 118's by the end of the day.

  4. This sucks, my shorts are getting nailed. I would have thought with a neutral or slightly bullish market, I might have cleaned up. It seems like they got a mind of thier own, but I will say, on the next market break, if the bondo gets up into the 120's I will short this thing like there is no tomarrow.

    P.S. Thanks Youngtrader, I shorted the 10-yr and got killed on that too. Last time I let elite trader effect my trading.

  5. Another thing is that the back end of the curve is being bid up while the 2 and 5 year notes reamain stagnant. Any thoughts on why? Oppurtunity in shorting the fronts?

  8. it seems they shorted the Tsy ahead of the Fannie/Freddie announcement scheduled at 900 EST and then they covered and bought the old news.. ...thanks to the stock indexes downmove, too.
