Ike,..Re:but Bundesbank uncertainity will weigh on this market heavily

Dear Ike, It looks like you made a good call shorting the bund at 107^80, especially in light of the rate hike talk out of Germany that we hear.

I think for the US that we will stay in the 6.1% to 5.75% range for awhile.

I became more convinced that we are range bound with the news that Treasury is cutting back supply.

For this reason, I am considering selling Sept. 122 calls. It is also tempting to buy May 120 calls in front of the Friday jobs number as all anecdotal evidence to date suggests that wages are well behaved except in some areas of higher demand. Will post if I get the opportunity to go long the May 120 calls tomorrow (looking for 43 or less to pay)

Regards,

Lee

<day in the street>

Today's action look really bad to me. It was a big range day with open at hi and close at low of the day. This may be the 5% correction we are going thru.
