LEFTBACK'S BOND REPORT
The Bond Report 12.2.10
All the pain was before the bond ETFs traded, but the selling of Treasuries continued in today's session. This must have been a really bad day for picking up pennies in front of the steamroller....
Corpies: LQD -0.22%; AGG -0.20%; JNK 0%; HYG 0.06%
Govies: TLT -0.27%; IEI -0.23%; TIP -0.04%
Hedgies: TBT 0.69%
We remain long HYG and SPY, with some TBT, and a pinch of TIP. It is very likely that we wlll move to a more conservative position over the next 3-5 trading days. Say what you will about LB but we have nailed the fundamental turns in the bond market fairly well in 2010....

JBTFD (and go steelhead fishing)...
How hard is that? :-)
Hey I saw that ZH bit that from you... maybe Tyler Durden reads this shit.
And I just watched it!
Brilliant!
@I-Man
other way around...
Oh... and I'm going to take ARIZONA STATE SUNDEVILS tonight (for a unit)... to add to the EAGLES...
Not sure what to watch tonight, LeBron's Homecoming or Eagles/Texans...
@I-Man
I got $$ on Eagles-Texans...
But I'll be watching LeBron... (and flipping back & forth)
this pains me so so much, but if the big dance were to start today, Duke would likely run away with it
my heels have already lost!
and, Wisconsin / NC State last night....WTF was that?
just throwing this up, I don't have an opinion on the count yet:

Looks like the "pre-stages" to a decade long 3P&ADH to me... :-)
we'll see, I'm in the Gary Schilling/Hugh Hendry crazy camp still with bonds, this is a correction, not the start of a massive bear market in fixed income.
I can just smell the lockout, going to really try to soak in the rest of the season:

hey, just a reminder, ISM came in WTE yesterday, but you didn't see that headline to explain the market
all the news that fits.....
lol
Anyone have the link to GS forecast for 2008? Considering they just released something on how to play the bull market in 2011 I want to see what they predicted for 2008.
Ben
Weekly claims and continued claims were WTE also. They quickly changed the subject to something else.

As Sergio Marchionne brings back Fiat SpA to the U.S. after nearly three decades, he may add another Italian speciality: the natural gas engine.
Marchionne, who is chief executive officer of Fiat and Chrysler Group LLC, says natural gas engines offer a better way to cut emissions because they're cheaper than competing technologies. He also argues electric cars, which General Motors Co. and Toyota Motor Corp. are betting on, present "too many obstacles" such as the recharge time for batteries.
"Natural gas is very suitable for the U.S.," Constantinos Vafidis, who oversees transmission and hybrid development at Fiat's research center in Turin, Italy, said in an interview. "Especially for public services and goods transportation, where vehicles are refueled from a central base."

lebron is having a sweet game, cavs getting smoked
the close ups of the fans are nice
So, Leftback, I'm guessing had the world cup come here you would have def. gone to the matches.
How about Qatar, gonna try to make it?
Quiet as its kept the Fed is shitting bricks: http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_50/b4207035613107.htm
Oh yeah the ISM Business Report new orders/inventories ratio is 0.9982 which according to Rosenburg indicates a sub 50 ISM is coming.
@Amen
CV is the one **itting bricks...
OK... So I have Arizona State (+4)... They're winning 20-14 with 20 seconds to go...
Arizona scores a TD... No problem, right? Kick the damn extra point and win the game by one (I get 4... I win)... How hard can that be?
BLOCKED!!!!!...
20-20... Overtime...
So now I'm biting my nuts because of this silly NCAA rule of giving both teams a chance to score...
ARIZONA could still win by 6 or 7... (making me lose)
(rolls eyes)
I-man,
What's not to like about bailing out HOG? It's a symbol of 'merika, baby. Overpriced shit bikes sold by a company saddled with loans by piece of shit borrow-and-hold experts.
Your hatin' HOG makes Baby Sonny Barger cry.

check the correlation between Oil, and the SPX E-Mini..
AAIP
as you read more about the details of the fed bailouts it is clear that there is no money, it is all debt, and they bailed out a tiny tiny little fraction of it so far
and in return
The data also demonstrate how the Fed, in its scramble to keep the financial system afloat, eventually lowered its standards for the kind of collateral it allowed participating banks to post. From Citigroup, for instance, it accepted $156 million in triple-C collateral or lower - grades that indicate that the assets carried the greatest risk of default.
good thing the economy is getting better
bwahahahahahaha
