  3. What about short-selling, Fed Funds, 100-strike, call-options if such a thing is listed? :confused:

    Not exactly the most liquid ETF my friend, look at the spread and volume.

    (This is not an attack, but doesn't anybody ever pull up a quote before posting these days?, That's great you were able to GOOGLE an ETF, finish the research next time, would you trade a stock with a .35 spread?

  8. Maybe you would like to short-sell the 110's? :cool:

    nazzdack maybe its not impossible. if the interest on reserves becames a 'charge' on excess reserves to force banks to lend, it could lead to a 100+ Fed futures
