    hehe wait

    this thing isnt tanking even as the stock market has a massive day

    unless we go up above 1300 on spx, you can rather sell short in the 117s

  3. then a slow protracted drip into spooz close miserable I had been getting short since the annoucement and had to wait so long so cover anything brutal! Just to get me back to scratch, can not figure why they won't kill it... Curve steepened a lot short end buying held it up I guess.

    i think a lot of people are looking for the market to react to stocks and so it doesn't. i find it very difficult to time entries based on what the stock market is doing. my better trades come when i just look at the bond chart and forget about stocks. it's been so choppy i moved to the sidelines anyway.

  9. Bondo Calrissian here, this $hit is getting nutty! A true bounty hunter's market! Ten year keeps dipping and slipping around 4% we'll see if oil and other commodities keep failing. I don't think we get any real movement till CPI on thursday and PPI next week. Gold got hammered today pretty nicely that was unexpected.
