TO ALL; Would suggest to the SI participants to trade treasury strips. For example most strips gained over 4 1/4% yesterday. The 2029 strip went from $172.5 to $181 or apx. $7.5 per bond. (yes I know it can go the other way too, then just short them <G>) Quite substantial swings with the principal guarantied by Uncle Sam and up 1 to 10 leverage. (Well would not suggest this one) Commision are very small (less than $40) or even free with some online outfits. Haim BTW - LG as you are an E*Trade client, for over 20 bonds they waive commision, and you can place limit orders.
