A dash of "Solid Gold" from Master Mav's underground ebook on 8/3/12:

"Hey guys, I thought you might like these two new ETF's I discovered. They have been out for awhile but no one ever talks about them. They give you a way to make a bet on the flattening or steepening of the yield curve. You no longer need to put on a futures spread or buy one ETF and sell another. Now you can simply buy one ETF and have it replicate a steepener trader.

If you want to bet on the yield curve flattening, you will want to buy FLAT. If you believe the yield curve will steepen, you will buy STPP. These ETF's track the spread between the 2 year note and the 10 year note, a very popular hedge fund trade.

As a quick primer, typically the curve will steepen when inflation increases and when there is a bid under risk assets. So think of buying STPP as another way to get long the market. The flattener is used when one is bearish on the market, bullish on deflation, and a flight to quality."
