Anybody else short US 30 Bond

Quote from ebayuser:

bonds feel weak today, but it also feels like a trap is forming down here.

Yields are climbing that wall of worry. If feels very tense to be short bonds right now and they keep falling.

yeah there was a huge seller in 5 yr cash a lot of corporates were priced today including 15 billion+ from Roche. Wicked sell off, tough rally, then sell off again! Lots of opportunities both on the sell and buy side. When the curve gets going you can not fade it or you will feel the pain.
 
Finally we will have 10+10 DOM in a month for interest rates:

bond at full tick would be fantastic...
dom will be good but it may freak outsome as they will see how thin the market really is (maybe it will help the cme to actually do full ticks in 30s though)

DOM will help ZN during some number releases. Only full ticks can help the ZB.
