Thanks for letting me know. I am not surprised at the strength in the bonds and mentioned in my posting that the flight to safety was the one thing that argued against the bonds selling off sharply.

Sooner or later market sentiment will change and we will see a pronounced decline in the bonds. I am toying around with doing a ratio write using TBT ....... selling OTM Jan 2012 puts and simultaneously going long OTM Jan 2012 calls. At worst, I would end up owning TBT at a much lower price than where it is currently trading.

The ten year note broke the 2% level briefly this morning, in case you were not aware of it!
