    anyone else see the possibility of the 30 year topping out around these levels medium term

    121 to 123 is the stall area for the last many many years

  2. I think the Ten Year might stall at 3.50% we are close, agree with you on ZB Z8 at some point there will be profit taking even though there are still huge foreign buyers of our paper.

    did anyone get a last trade in AFTER market hours on ZB?

    wild after hours news, unsure of how this is going to affect ZB


    when I shut down my computer at around 15.30 EST it was trading at roughly 120

    the good trade was I sold all my 119 calls on friday when ZB hit 121

    still short DEC ZB from 118 16. This trade is starting to look bad. I cannot believe the huge reversal today in the bonds. Anyone thinks the yields will go much lower?
