this thread is about the 30 year bond

the exchange is ECBOT and the future is ZB

open an account at interactive brokers or similar.
 
as spooz rally and the curve does not flatten that tells you that equity rallies are short covering as the REAL MONEY in the world trades US paper and when the ZB and ZN do not tank even after a 35 point rally in spooz (off the low) what does that tell you? Curve steepens as flight to quality is in effect; but no matter what I say my outlook is usually not more than the next 30 seconds to 10 minutes these markets are too volatile hold any positions in. How about that 8$ oil drop in 6 minutes this $hit is crazy!
 
i meant intra-day, all I know is the ZB could be up or down 2 handles tomorrow I am just getting ready to strap in for the ride. They might jam spooz up for options expiration who knows all I know is that selling rallies in the equity world has been good recently. It seems like in the bondo right now spooz rallies are opportunities for paper to buy dips. This of course could change at any moment, with Bernanke, Paulson, Cox and all of the other $hit (Freddie, Fannie, primary dealers short situation) going on I would not have any size on without options protection right now.
 
Spooz bounced 29 handles from the bottom before shitting the bed !

I keep my finger on the trigger with this volatility, latop in the WC with TT.
 
no-one trusts these rallies thats why ZB didnt react

every knew it was just a BS intraday move

if the spooz is up +30 with only 5 mins before close, then we might get a reaction :-)
