Hi Chip It's been a very long time.... Hope that trade works for you... I think it will... I have a question, hope you can enlighten me... I look at but do not trade the 10yr note ZN and the bond ZB both are the March contract..Here's what I do not understand.. The price.. ZB is 121 and change ZN is 120 and change... 120 what?... apples? $$? I'm confused... I thought it was somewhat like a bond that you would buy something like a muni... It has and interest rate tied to it... but THAT much premium?? Can you explain this? Thanks Hal
