Fair enough, thanks for the warning... and yes, TBT could pull an SKF like move if rates really run up on a continuous basis as treasury selling begets selling for now (and practically without remorse since Jan 1st). I am aware of all the problems with nearly failed auctions, excessive budget deficits and growing debt plus inflation angst, but the mechanics of the interest rate trade would command a different trade. Particularly if the fed takes back some of its stimulus and hikes the short end. (and I managed a successful bet on rising rates: Message 25638080 , and hell the rates did rise a lot: siliconinvestor.com )
