What about short-selling, Fed Funds, 100-strike, call-options if such a thing is listed?

The auction was a 10 YR auction today.

TLT is the most liquid Bond ETF, but longer end.
SHY is the shorter end mat ETF.

Not exactly the most liquid ETF my friend, look at the spread and volume.

(This is not an attack, but doesn't anybody ever pull up a quote before posting these days?, That's great you were able to GOOGLE an ETF, finish the research next time, would you trade a stock with a .35 spread?

Maybe you would like to short-sell the 110's?

nazzdack maybe its not impossible. if the interest on reserves becames a 'charge' on excess reserves to force banks to lend, it could lead to a 100+ Fed futures
