with more deflation and more recession, 10yr yield could drop

I think UBS Warburg was making a shorterm call
like a 10yr yield rising to 4.4% or 4.5%
after that, we could see more bond rallies
esp with a panic in stocks

I am beginning to think June2003 TNX put contracts would be great here
these play off the TNX, which is 10x the 10yr yield
e.g. a 10yr TNote yield of 4.27% would make TNX=42.7
a June03 put with 40 strike would triple if yield went to 3.85% by late Sept
these Treasury option puts & calls trade with strong volume
they contain almost as much leverage as futures contracts
but with a tough expiration feature

perhaps a combo of long golds and option shorts on TNX
we could see the big gold gains only after a stock collapse
illiquidity comes with risks for all things financial
including gold miner stocks

the main risk I see with expecting still lower Trez yields is a wider foreign selling spree of USTrez securities
