Rampant speculation? Conspiracy? Too many buyers?

    Could be. Maybe they're trying to ensure successfull TBond auctions as they begin tomorrow (2/5/7 yr this week).

    But when we see 5 rate hikes in Treasuries in a short period, and 3 within a week, then we can talk about conspiracies. image

    CME's stock lost 50% during the 2008 crash, and has never recovered. Their business model is broken, and they know it.

    Everytime the margin requirements are raised that instrument seems to only go up in time. Interesting. MJ

    I believe they are preparing for a bond bloodbath.

    Does MIMITW still live on his boat? When Quincy did that in the late 1970's I thought that was cool.
