Quote from nazzdack:

If there's a good meltdown during September or October, that would be 2 or 3 months.

Back in 1997 there were several days at around a million.........

You're right Pabst. If the Treasury would make an announcement to the effect of "reinstating the long-bond", that would definitely do it.

the Bunds (GBL on Eurex) do this regularly....

i think well get there in couple of years with it being auctioned quarterly, & most futures moving to the screen.
