Anybody know about 'dollar' roll & 'tba' trading? VOL: GOOGLE doesn't show Please PM me or whatever. I've been reading, and googling, but I can't seem to understand the nitty gritty of it. I understand the concept sort of speak, but want to ask questions. Not sure where to post, so I...

Any bump?? Help? Thanks
