Quote from clacy:

I guess that's what happens when you try to pick tops/bottoms.

nothing wrong with picking tops and bottoms.. you just have to stay away from leverage when you do it and enlarge your timeframe.

no guts, no glory. probably by taking excessive risks the dude got to 8 figures in the first place.

you got it.

the hard part is not making it, it's keeping it.

Quote from Pa(b)st Prime:

I consider not getting caught short on this month long run-up one of the luckiest decisions of my life. Prior to the election I was short ZB futures, short ZB calls and long ZB puts. I was in the midst of really putting the hammer down. It was only because of my bearishness on stocks that I covered (116 to 117) and I've resisted the impulse to short Treasuries ever since. I know a CBOT trader who was worth 8 figures 6 weeks ago and is now broke....

Good thing my position trade is reasonable...
All signals pointed to this but stubborness ruled the day...
still gotta work on that...
humph...
It pays to diversify...

Excellent advice.

Swing trade: 30yr. yields up, short term reversal marked by today's EOD action.

How is that, these closed at the HOD!
Certainly tradeable, but I do not think we saw the low yield just yet.

Feel free to fade any of my BOND posts, they are usually wrong!

The discrepancy between Treasury and municipal bonds is so wide, all bankers can just become tax collectors and banking all these succulent yield, just perfect.

To clarify: today's closing action looks to be a short term pivot point - I feel better about this as a 'Fade the Fed' play than shorting equities at this juncture.

In the same vein, long US$ as a swing trade.

He said last Thursday that he covered his bond short weeks ago as it was going too far against him, and went long oil last week.
