and i'm not necessarily looking for something all that cheap, i recognize the risk i'm trying to put off on someone, and for 225k in loans over the lifetime i'm already looking at paying somewhere around 250k in interest at these rates, if rates double it'd be more than double that.

just did the 10 year swap 10 years forward because the loans are all 20 years and that would give me a long hedge without having to roll the position constantly, wanted to avoid the roll risk as if we truly enter a bond bear market they'll steal a couple percent from you each time you roll. i...

ok, so i was talking to a fund manager family friend of mine, he said the best way to try and do it was to: sell short 10 year swap rate 10 years forward now the problem is the swap market trades in mln+ sums and i just need a 250k one so i need someone to sell me that slice- now does...

so i just got married and strapped with about 300,000$ (75k fixed at about 6.8% rest variable average of 7% right now) of student loans from my new wife. we went to the bank to try and consolidate them into fixed rates only to find that fixed rate loans are no longer offered in any manner from...

yeah cash being the trash that it will turn into (ie russian collapse, argentine collapse, weimar republic) and the likelihood of gold not retaining it's value in transactions due to it simply being so long since it was used as a real medium of exchange. what is there to do? what would you...

i'm still trying to figure out how i can just make sure i don't squander the good fortunes i've had in the past few years of trading when it all collapses around us, but yes it will be interesting.

does anyone know of any way of accessing bonds denominated in the yuan? i want out of the US dollar and figure with these talks of bigger currency there is a decent chance of it being the yuan.

only thing that matters as far as being fake is how many orders you send that you cancel compared to how many you send that get filled. this is just a standard part of the game- and as far as it works until it doesn't i have yet to see anyone with real size get picked off in the futures market-...

i actually enjoy the style- i just use dashes instead

levered etf's can be dangerous- if you haven't heard already just do the math going up 10% and down 10% and you end up losing 1%. if you are holding for a while the static in the market slaughters those etf's.

my firm is in regular violation of the messaging limits for treasury futures, we recently got a warning but have never been fined that i know of

is this a half-ass measure to try and make defending our currency easier? limit the leverage others can use against you? dunno i was just thinking it might be but i'm unfamiliar with these markets

i traded bond futures with them before. only switched because my firm did, everything went well and i would recommend advantage to anyone- may end up re-opening my personal account there as well. i just remember paying something like 32c round trip for bonds. i leased a seat too though so you...

generally i don't celebrate one way or another, but i definitely celebrated the day goldman fat fingered the 5000 red packs of euros.

anyone remember the high from dec was it 143' or 147'? has it officially dropped 20% yet? that has to be somewhere around here...

could have just been steepeners coming off frantic to get out of size not caring where because of the winner they just got riding from 204+

actually liberals don't donate their money- they donate yours.

QE isn't exactly that, it is just coiling up the spring for the fall later- it's kind of nice because eventually there will be a nice bold line in the sand- i know i'm jumping over the third time we meet it.

i'm actually not kidding, i wouldn't be surprised if they say it's unamerican to short treasuries and/or tax it punitively

will the government resort to not allowing us to short them eventually as we tumble over the next few years?
