I don't know where you're getting your data from. The ZB March futures just made it over 116, not 117. But anyway, the S&P still looks quite vulnerable - I'm still holding my short position until volatility picks up until ^VIX 42. I still haven't traded any bond futures this week - as I said earlier, I liquidated before the close on Friday. Needed to get some sleep, you see. I still think that shorting the S&P providers a better risk/return than going long the bond. It's more volatile though. Also, oil futures are probably going to be a good short in a couple weeks. I'm looking around 42 dollars a barrel - I don't know what's with this number "42" popping over the place, but it looks like the answer to life, the universe and everything is that indeed! No comment on the natural gas anymore - I've determined that those contracts are untradable due to the excessive spreads.
