  1. I agree with the above, but what do you think of this bloomberg article:

    Japan Can't Get Enough Treasuries; Sees Fed Controlling Prices

    By Wes Goodman

    Sept. 18 (Bloomberg) -- Suddenly, the Japanese can't get enough government securities.

    Kokusai Asset Management Co., which runs the world's second-biggest bond mutual fund, Daiwa Asset Management Co. and Fuji Investment Management Co. are increasing holdings of U.S. government securities, expecting the 11-week rally in Treasuries to continue.

  2. exactly.. sure, they'll pause, but something of Mr. Ben's language will of course surprise the markets.

    Just wondering what you guys think of this analysis (ZBs)

    No upside momentum until 111.07.
    Bears have to take 109.25 to get things started.
    I'm incline to scalp longs around 110.05 with a Major level @110.27

    Thanks for your inputs.

    Price Projection Numbers

    110 21
    110 08
    110 01
    109 29

    My bias is neutral for today.

    Here are the reports:

    ICSC-UBS Store Sales
    0645 CST

    Housing Starts
    0730 CST

    Producer Price Index
    0730 CST

    Redbook

    State Street Investor Confidence Index
    1000 CST

    I'll be looking to make my decision for today based on price action at 0730 through 0800. A lot of valuable topics have been discussed on this forum, especially some interesting things since this past Friday.

  7. Looking to go long multiple contracts on ZB's at 110 25 or better. Entry was 110 22 or better unfortunately. Looks like we may have finished a solid 4 tick profit move.

  8. Long 4 ZB's 110 27....bad entry / late entry. Watch closely. Totally missed on an easy 5 - 6 tick trade!

    UPDATE
    0757 Get ready to bail. Need to see a run on stops. Hopefully to 111 01.

    0758 OK, new highs in the ZN. Don't let a profit become a loss!
