LEFTBACK'S BOND REPORT
The Bond Report 10.12.10
- by Appointment to Her Majesty "QE2"
A quiet day. The 3y auction was indifferent, hardly a surprise at these low yields. 10y tomorrow, and a morning POMO. The long end sold off a bit today, something we will see more of in the future.
Corpies: LQD -0.15%; AGG -0.10%; JNK -0.10%; HYG -0.09%;
Govies: TLT -0.99%; IEI -0.18%; TIP -0.31%
Hedgies: TBT 2.15%
We had been short the long end, and we took the profits. Tomorrow is a POMO. After that, we may get short again, we'll see.

AR, you are killing me : )
$tran interesting.. wonder what effect the CSX earnings will have on that tomorrow as their charts are so shockingly alike..

The French strike might conceivably interrupt the carry trades for a day or two, if the markets ever actually notice what is going on outside....
pretty cool jam for today, maybe new for some of you:

also, just want to say....total conviction environment
try and count how many times you read "this market can't go down" today....bet it's more than 5, and it doesn't matter who says it, many many people are thinking it.
Social Mood baby, confusing, cause it aint physics.
I did not add to shorts on the spike this afternoon....will I? Doubtful at this point, best to step aside while everyone is going insane...or best for me to step aside anyway.

ben, i just posted a social comment that didn't take.. i'm adding up the "celebrity couple" splits and adding them to the no name splits... but at leat I'm not on the air with this fellow:

Karen,
yeah my wife said something to me about cox/arquette last night, it's strange that I often feel bad for a second after hearing about the hollywood couples breaking up but that wears off pretty quick as marriage just seems like a big game to people in that world. those two had been together for a while, guess that makes it a little more of a shock.
I read somewhere once in a socionomics letter that more people will desire the single life during negative social mood/bear markets....lots of divorce in our practice these last couple of years that's for sure.
Laura Dern-Ben Harper
Princess Bride-Sean Penn
Courtney Cox-David Arquette
Halle Berry-To Die For
Christina Aguilera-Jordan Bratman (had to look up his name)
i'm leaving out 1/2 a dozen.. Especially the Lesbian ones..
PLS, Just don't let Heidi and Seal split..
or Ellen and Portia : (
don't think they were married but together a long time, Tim Robbins and Susan S....was that this year?
That was a HUGE one.. Tim and Susan then..
Tipper and Gore
Uma Thurman and Arki
Charlize and her bo..
what is this?
People Magazine?
There is something about ES 1174.50...
Doubt the market closes above it, but could see intraday push to 1180.
Sorry if this has been hashed out already, I havent been paying any attention to ES lately.
But there is something about that 1174.5 I tell ya...
Jeez - I'm changing the name of this blog from SURVIVAL CAPITAL to...
NO WE CAN'T HACK IT CAPITAL
Long Hacky Sacks...
That was a HUGE one.. Tim and Susan
I know- that kind of broke me up too- sniff . .sniff-
ror
. . .and the Fed- it reminds me of this-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kc8fqgbU_SU
pretty fucking scary pulling out all the stops- if it is as people imagine-
a no holds barred Fed liquidity extravaganza
Sweet.
I'm really short now...this fan-fucking-tastic....
. . .but I don't believe that-
pulling out all the stops- that won't happen until it is apparent that they tried -
but were found wanting
sorry- gotta wait to the end for the punch line
looks like we have our fundamental reason for next leg down.
the mortgage news is getting worse. media are starting to report facts, not sugar coated pr from the banks. cash flow about to put an end to mark to market bullshit. sentiment is beyond extreme. perceptions of bucky can't get any worse. end of august it was all about double dip, look where we are now.
get ready for it.
oh yeah, euro debt crisis anyone? we are due.
here we go-
If the Fed were to communicate that it will tolerate a higher-than-normal rate of inflation, that could make companies feel more inclined to nudge up their prices. Shoppers -- thinking prices would be rising even further down the road -- would be more inclined to make purchases sooner. That would lift inflation, which is now running at very low levels.
Merlin the Magician obviously-
nothing like tricking the folks into making purchases-
complete bullshit if you ask me- like a mass experiment
@Ahab 9.09. Yeah, that's a genius plan there....
As if... there was just a little bit of slack capacity out there.
on the contrary, there is shit tons of slack in the system. In order for that concept to work, you would need firms in the same space to collude and raise prices in unison....
Good luck with that.
AT-
no doubt-
we are living in surreal times
Futures look like a group of lemmings heading for the cliffs edge. Yen is down but doesn't look like intervention. Gold got its mojo back. Pouring myself another drink...
Ok....
For whatever reason, I've been on a Tom Petty bender the last several days. I'm throwing this out there: Tom Petty is the most underrated musician/singer-songwriter of all time. There, I said it.
Donovan is pretty underrated too. Who is the most overrated? So many choices! But I'm gonna have to go with Steve Miller.
Prosciutto Gristle....in the house.
Indeed...good one...Steve Miller sucks ass. He is definitely OVERRATED.
I got some PanterA going on over here.
Always been a big Tom Petty fan
Steve Miller was my very first concert....they did a rap over fly like an Eagle.
Throwing a few OVERRATED bands out there:
The Verve, Counting Crows, and yeah...I'll go there....Bob Dylan.*
You ever heard Bot Dylan in concert? It's inaudible.
*Note: I understand that Bob Dylan has one of the greatest songs of all time in "Like a Rolling Stone"...but, yeah, it was just one song...
Led Zeppelin is NOT overrated.
I think the velvet underground is way overrated....at least RS overrates them. I think Boston is probably underrated....whats the thoughts on Kansas?
Agree on Velvet Underground....
Not sure where Boston and KS rate on the underrated/overrated meter...I'm sort of neutral there.
Bad Company. BTO. The Eagles. Jethro Tull. Supertramp. Kansas. And countless more. All granted immortality on the airwaves. And all just a bunch of crap.
i think/know roger plant fell in love with me for a split second.. in philadelphia..
