Geo--<How? You "go long" (buy) the T-bill contract, and "go short" (sell) the Eurodollar contract at the same time. For every basis point the spread widens, you make $25.00 (and you lose $25.00 for every point the spread narrows). The margin requirement is only $235 per spread. > If I understand this correctly there is no TED symbol or chart and one must compute the values accordingly?

Hi, Curious George...I appreciated TED SPREAD 101-class. Nice job. Would you consider, for the benefit of this thread, keeping us appraised on this spread during the day, *especially if it widens dramatically.* My sources tell me that shooting war is imminent, w/in 8-10 days now. I'd like to think you'd pop up and tell us this puppy widened. Knowing how my mind works and how set I get in my "ways", it will take me more than 8-10 days to get used to following this indicator and adding it to the "things I download/watch and get a feel for..." Would you consider taking on this piece of the puzzle? I know I'd appreciate it, and I'm sure the others would as well!!!! Again thx for that time and effort. O/49r
