it seems all short paper financing has been ok, long paper bad. B to cover 3.33 vs 3.20, indirect 54% vs 42%. Santelli gave it a B+

good auction and the street waits for Santelli grade to pop it, ha ha, bought 18's in ZB Good to see you back El Surdo!

150K ZN traded from 9 am to 9:08 that is power...

every quarter point in yield causes chaos...lots of rehedging by big boys and supply next week I have been selling rallies the last two weeks granted after the 30 yr auction I got blasted but other than that it has been pro!

lots of algos and paper is back trading - citadel, goldman, etc... 3.75 yield tested and bounced a couple of days ago now through where we go next who knows. Just don't get in the way, 76K ZN traded in 4 minutes (10:04am to 10:06am) big boys are back. Also lots of spreaders back even though...

which ever way the Locomotive comes through do not get in the way...

made back a 1/3 of what I dropped the last three days...rough indeed.

I can see the steepening it is so slow and brutal since I trade the long end primarily it is so boring. I sat in a trade for an hour to make 6 ticks.

as spooz are trading thousands of cars down why fixed income paper does not let ZN get over 108.075 and ZB get over 117.26 is beyond my understanding bought ZB at 17 and 18 area and waiting for a pop that does not happen this trade is f#cked up bigtime! Then it comes right back to you quickly...

could someone who is a lot smarter than me explain what just happened? $hit suction, spooz rally and we rally strong I know 3.75 yield was hit in tens and there was a bounce but come on!

Germans coming to Greeks aid and then they are not F#CKING crazy trade.

the NOB the last two days has been moving a lot I like it...

yeah just joking looking to buy dips now spooz have no bottom in sight! I might fade something up here we'll see.

slow slow then 29K ZN and 12K ZB trade up in 30 seconds What was that? Fat finger they got me to puke into em.

ten year is oscillating between 3.25 ((3.18ish high price of ZN) and 3.75 yield it dipped to 3.80+ shortly now it is stuck. It's all about yield not indicators. People have to readjust their hedges every quarter point so pay attention to yield right now about 3.65 we'll see if they get some...

started trading again today for the first time since Sept. I go away for 4 months and the books are thicker. I love the ZN and Full ticks on ZB is in a word awesome. Going to start trading size again soon. You can really tell that the NOB is back no more bull$hit sweeps anymore size trading...

there is a small group of guys who are related to some southern traders up here in Chicago, they trade Fixed Income Cash/Futures. This was from about 4 years ago don't know if they still are in Charleson.

talked to them in the fall they are holding on Chi-town hiring until they get their NYC office up and running.

have not traded Futures/Cash since Sept, just long TBT from 43 ish area, which was the 123 ZB area. About to start again soon.
