Have you figured out a way to trade a widening credit spread? In what sense? Corporate bonds, 5 vs 10 yr treasuries? what? I wish there was a way to short junk bonds but there is not. BTW is the spread between 10 and 30 year getting wider or narrower. I can not fathom locking into a 30 year rate at 5 vs 10 year rate at 4.25 I am sure you agree that is insane. .8 of a point for 20 more years. WTF? Note too that the 30 yr is about to crack 5% once again Mish

Russ - Thoughts on Unleaded Gas? Here is a post from Steve on the fool.... If UG was moving in parallel with POC as it did last spring, UG at retail would be $2.63 here, instead of $1.89. There was a gas war yesterday between a Marathon station and a Sunoco in a Detroit burb. The price got down to $1.37 before the war ended when the Marathon station ran out of gas. Refiners must be getting the beejus squeezed out of them right now. Retail gas prices are a political hot issue so I can't discount industry support for BushCo. I'm tempted to say that low gas prices are a result of supply and demand, but if that was the case, why would refiners use $44 oil to make $1.89 gas? Steve
