A quick reply. Last week was unpleasant. I am still looking to place equity and bond hedges in front of the PPI and CPI releases next week. Seems to me, erroneously of course -s-, that NASDAQ is close to exhibiting a blow off top. Sets up trading for the Feb. expiration which is right after the inflation releases. BTW I'll be using March index contracts. Why am I concerned about "non-existent" inflation??? Partly because of last week's research releases which confirm my numbers. (1)The FIBER leading inflation index rose to 104.4 in January from a revised December level of 103.5. (2)The Economic Cylce Research Institute's future inflation gauge rose to 123.2 in January from December's upwardly revised 121.7. Monthly Annualized FIBER 0.87% 10.44% ECRI 1.23% 14.76% As for bonds, forget about that rummy market.-s- Watch ten year notes from now on. <ng>
