Bond Futures

is blowing up. A move like this(with all the ramifications in less liquid fixed income instruments) I would have thought would have brought a few LTCM's out in the open.
 
Quote from Foz:



It's only carnage if you're long. Cut your losses. But I, too, am surprised by the sharpness of the move. Wow!

Hey Johnny cum lately,

Good to finally see you here. Read the thread before you assume.

Just got to this thread, but it is a great read!

Universal topics (trends of sooo many posts on this site) brought out by the thread:

1. The guru vs the market.
2.Theoretical arguments (academics) vs. trading (where you make it or are brok'en.)

Nitro - you asked why people only talk about the 30 vs the 10 year, and speaking from my experience it has to do with age, experience and comfortability.

My father has been in the markets since the early 1960s, and he is a classic example of a trader in his early 60s who has never taken a look at the 10 year. Why? Cause it never came into fashion until recently. In general it appears that many futures trader alwasy go back to the instruments they started with and have good results with.

That has been my observation with my father and I am just thinking it is true in general.

Did I see that right? The Sep ED futures moved FORTY ticks yesterday? My gawd.

.... before there's some kind of MAJOR disequilibria if this keeps up.


With so much Structured Finance sloshing through the street moves like this makes the system inherently unstable.

Keep on your toes.
