Gersh; RE:" Go Get 'Em, Dude! "
from The New York Times, Sunday 25-OCT, page 8BU ...
As if the bond rally didn't make enough Treasury traders rich: Chicago Board Brokerage L.L.C., an operator of a computerized Treasury trading system that is a joint venture of the Chicago Board of Trade and Prebon Yamane, a British brokerage firm, is giving away $1 million in a sweepstakes.
Contestants have to guess three simple figures: the yield on the newly-issued 30-year United States Treasury bond at the close of trading, 4 PM Eastern time on 17-NOV; the Chicago Board of Trade settlement price of the 10-year Treasury note futures contract on that date; and, the foreign-exchange selling rate of the Japanese Yen in USDollars at that time. All entries must be postmarked by 31-OCT.
The forecasts must be accurate to a hundredth of a point. And the potential winner will be selected out of just 200 randomly drawn entries. (You can, however, enter as many times as you want.) Entry forms are available by calling +1.201.557.5975
