Donald If corporations float a lot of corporate bonds, then supply (bonds available for purchase) will be up and demand (interest rates paid on bonds) will go down. This will have the same effect on Treasury notes. Increased supply and competition always drives prices lower. Dennis

re : Your take on Sept and Oct being the months that corporate bonds are floated and how it affects Treasuries. Brilliant. Sometimes my brain is barely in gear I think because I failed to make that connection and you are 100% correct. That explains how often we have very painful Octobers on our portfolios! I also noticed AOL was not on the list. It disturbs me. Must admit I shorted some AOL yesterday, though too low, at 89...expect it below that level for a while anyway in the near future. But who can tell???? We never really know until it happens. Freeus
