How best to profit from a rate cut

[tradingcards]

If I believe that the Fed will cut rates, what is the best position to take in what security to best profit from that?

If the answer is buy bonds, then, specifically which bonds will have the most bang for my buck (most price movement)

Thanks for the help

short dated bonds - ie 2 year or 5 year.

buy yen/usd

the carry trade will come apart..

Mr. B

Did you mean sell short bonds, or buy short time frame bonds ie 2-5 year?

 

[BJL]

fed fund futures or options

best bang for the buck probably the fed fund binary options

Short the SPY off the bounce. We are heading for the same train reck the Japan markets experienced in the 90's. The Fed has little power to help us in this scenario. The best they can do is accelerate the plunge for the U.S. dollar.
