It also depends on the maturities. The trade is less risky with T-Bills rather than with Notes or Bonds, because the liquidity in the ST money markets is excellent.

the repo man.... fear the repo man...

Thanks Henry! It did look too good to be true...

Since repos are such a short term thing, how are spreads quoted there, and what is the sort of typical spread you'd encounter? Or is more along the lines of where the repo man simply asks, "OK kid, how much money ya got? Why not just hand it over now, real quiet like, and save us both some time?"
