Good info from H B on where to look for debt market and credit spreads Info. Briefing.com also does a pretty good job. ------------------- ne site that has regular updates on credit spreads is prudentbear.com Doug Nolands reports on the credit markets are always worth a read and he keeps a close eye on spreads...i don't follow them daily, a weekly update seems enough. somewhere on the site there's a collection of spread charts. unfortunately i know of no site that updates agency and corporate spread charts on a daily basis. but i can make do with Noland's weekly report. btw. the panic levels in spread land are very negative for equities. very important is furthermore Mr. Moto's weekly monetary report: beartopia.net one of the most astute observers of the FOMC dispensing his wisdom for free on the net. as an aside, the sentiment indicator alarm bells are clanging even louder today...the index put call ratio has hit what i believe to be an all time low for a one-day reading (0,60). my data go back to '88, and i trade options since '82 and can't remember having seen such a number anytime between '82 and '88 either. i guess PPI may be a negative surprise...the complacency in the options markets is simply incredible. the only sentiment data that are constructive are the polls data...but imo positioning data are more important than polls.
