    Or anyway to tarde? There is just one french ETF which is for stocks. I want to bet aganist french 10 year bonds because their gov seems to be going the way of Greece.

    Any ideas? I see OAT in IB which apppears to be futures, but do not know time on bonds.

    For German bonds plenty of ETFs

    Thanks

    OAT is a tradeable Futures on French Bonds, I may do the trade.

    Thanks

    ah, i thought that you wanted to trade with the physical and not the future.

    Note that IB do not provide physical delivery...

    Thanks had not seen that article about OAT.


    Also Nym, I would not want the physical, want leveraged trade. The futures do not go out all that far, think March. Would prefer a year out, so will have to roll. My bet is Frecnh debt will sour.
