i traded there for about 9 months and the "training" consisted of two guys telling me what they did but they had no real knowledge of the markets or anything of that nature...i also found out later that my trainers were getting a cut of the commission so they taught me in a way so that I would...

I believe that the Treasury dept. is going to make the final decision on Aug 3rd

look out for 112-16....if we break through with some force we could continue the move up for quite a while in the 10yr

The curve flattener was a hot trade on '04 but it hasnt really done much this year so far, just keeps bouncing around.....not sure if it has just paused or if it still has room to move like last year

stocks dumped bigtime

This volatility is so amazing....the markets on e-cbot are incredibly deep, 1000 lots can trade in the ten year and not even move the bid or offer. Big things are happening since friday and people are getting squeezed

colewave..... A lot of the movement in bonds (outside of economic releases) has to do with the movement in currencies, specifically the Yen. The reason for this is that every time the yen falls against the dollar the Japanese central bank steps in and buys dollars and then they buy bonds...

Shorts got squeezed today.......what do you think about more of a move to the upside in the short-term.....with the recent softer than expected economic numbers and the fact that everybody seems to have been short going into today
