Hi Ted, I've been long the 30 year bond futures since early September, at 6.55% basis the cash. I won't guess where it might go, I just follow my technicals. I've been trading the 30 year bond futures from the first year they were on the Chicago Board of Trade and can be traded. 100K minimum for each contract and you can double dip your money by keeping the cash in instruments while you leverage and take the cream off the top in the futures. The same $$$$ earns interest both ways and where can you get about 13% backed by the U.S. government these days, not to mention this great bond rally for appreciation. It sure beats the equities with a stick. This is probably why the equities are in trouble. But still, it's fun to play. GZ
