LEFTBACK'S BOND REPORT
The Bond Report 9.22.10
Another moderate risk-off day in credit. It was a flattener as long bonds were bid again. Ts outperformed corporates and IG > HY.
Corpies: LQD -0.06%; AGG 0.03%; JNK -0.25%; HYG -0.41%;
Govies: TLT 0.90%; IEI -0.03%; TIP 0.14%
Hedgies: TBT -1.91%
We did nothing. A right shoulder continues to form on TLT as LQD and AGG seem close to executing double tops. Unless there are a host of apocalyptic data releases, we think this is it for bonds for a while, and we would be looking for entry points on the short side, even as we unload more of our once very large long positions.

WOW- from the CEO of Walmart-
I don't need to tell you that our customer remains challenged…You need not go farther than one of our stores on midnight at the end of the month. And it's real interesting to watch, about 11 p.m. customers start to come in and shop, fill their grocery basket with basic items – baby formula, milk, bread, eggs – and continue to shop and mill about the store until midnight when government electronic benefits cards get activated, and then the checkout starts and occurs. And our sales for those first few hours on the first of the month are substantially and significantly higher.
that staggers my mind- beyond unbelievable- I am going to go one end of the month- late- just to check out the surreal experience.
appears to be almost a community get together
The action from the yday's high looks more "corrective" than anything else. A new high in price wouldn't surprise here. We may very well grind lower and test all those 1131 buyers some more, but there is nothing about the last 24 hours that looks "impulsive" in a way that suggests: "Get Asshole Short right now."
Just My $.02.
I'm secretly hoping we can get to 1170....
I've got my own mom short now FWIW....Good thing we get along well.
Futures are trying to push higher. AUDJPY and EURJPY are higher (not by much). Gold is higher (1300 will get tested this week). There's selling of 2, 5, 10 and 30yr USTs. DXY, oil and yen are down. Not sure about weekly claims but durable goods should start showing a major contraction soon: http://www.consumerindexes.com/commentary_2010_dailygrowthindexvsgdp_full.png
Ahab...on WalMart:
That is some wild shit man. I guess that's our 21st century "bread line" as it were....
Ahab:
That is beyond scary. I suppose I must keep my real thoughts about it to myself...wouldn't to any good to vent.
b'n't -
why not, if not just for the release of venting?
me, i envision a pipeline from washington to walmart to china
21st century breadlines indeed-
a perfect description-
and yes it is scary, surreal and sad-
I am going to check it out for myself- mill around and whatnot- just so I can be a witness-
not quite Burning Man- but hey- Walmart is just down the street
72bat: Good point...the Pipeline from DC to Walmar to China...
It is what it is.
That doesn't look too good for Cramer. Sorry if this was already posted but not much time the last couple of days.
