A place where a skillful caddy always offers cool contemplation when it comes to your "stick" selection.



Creditcane™: Was that a BOOM from the insurers?

LEFTBACK'S BOND REPORT

The Bond Report 11.8.10

A bit of risk-off today, not a very interesting day in all honesty. We will pass on the usual witticisms and analytical gems and just say, what a snoozer. The 3y auction was luke-warm.

Corpies: LQD 0.05%; AGG -0.05%; JNK -0.51%; HYG -0.29%;
Govies: TLT 0.45%; IEI -0.05%; TIP 0.14%
Hedgies: TBT -0.81%

We are watching the 10y and 30y auctions with interest. There may be a buying opportunity ahead in long bonds on weakness. TLT chart shows a possible trading range between 98 and 102, and we bounced off that support today.

Speech of Dallas Fed President and CEO Richard W. Fisher: http://dallasfed.org/news/speeches/fisher/2010/fs101108.cfm

@ben

Best of both worlds is when you can get "C'MON MAN & DE RAIDERS" together in the same sound byte...

I really need Rashard Mendenhall to "go off" tonight....something like 150 yards with 2TDs would be "sweet."

mcHAPPY said...

Andy,

Do you have any idea what POTENTIAL targets the (C) could be looking at if in fact the highs of (B) are in?

mcHAPPY said...

CV,

I think it was you who was discussing politicians being 'sexy' - if it wasn't my apologies.

Anyways point is has anyone seen the new Mayor of Toronto? So people are clear, Toronto is not some hick Canadian town, eh - it is the 4th largest city in North America and largest city in Canada.

Luckily looks did not determine the outcome of this race.

Funny how this story:

http://m.cnbc.com/us_news/40079208

came out after this story:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/asia-pacific/obama-backs-indias-un-aspirations-with-qualifications/article1789552/

So the way I see it is:

"C'mon man, buy our T's and we'll get you a permanent seat on the UN Security Council."

McHappy,

think about this, EWI is showing a C wave that could go to 1250....or higher, and certainly this is a good possibility. That said, I'm sure you just read EWFF, think of the sentiment figures they went through, Neely's terminal C with a fifth wave failure seems far more logical given the sentiment backdrop when it's considered.

Now Krugman is arguing that Bernanke isn’t going nearly far enough with QE:

ben22 said...

of course, to Andy's point on RSI Divergence, NAS doesn't really support fifth wave failure:

AmenRa said...

Loonie is heading lower...
AUDJPY, EURJPY lower
Silver over 28
Gold still pushing higher after breaking 1400

and Steelers are 6-0 on Monday Night.

mcHAPPY said...

Ben,

I'm talking about (C) not the current C. i.e. the follow up to the decline in to '08-'09.
