Visibility into MBS (Fannie, Freddy), Repo, CDS, and other Institutional Markets

[kmiklas]

Hey All,

Anyone know how I can get visibility into the institutional markets, like MBS (Fannie, Freddy, Ginny), Repo, CDS, IRS, and the like?

I realize that these are institutional products, typically out of the retail price range (>10M), but I'd love any kind of MD therefrom. These massive markets seem rather opaque to the average investor.

I checked with Interactive Brokers, and they sent me to their MD Product Listings page (below). There's some stuff there for US Treasury Bonds, Corp, Munis, and a couple others... but visibility into the other big institutional markets.

Thanks,
Keith

Bloomberg Terminal has indicative prices for all of these products. Actionable levels usually come from dealers, so you'd have to make friends first.
