US Treasury Yield Curve Shows Shorting Opportunities

By David Spurr on December 2, 2008 | More Posts By David Spurr | Author's Website

The Treasury yield curve is really starting to look ridiculous. I’m going to start looking closely at the UltraShort Lehman 20+ Trsy ProShares (TBT) and UltraShort Lehman 7-10 yr Trsy ProShares (PST) as possible shorting opportunities. I’ve got to believe that the bonds have rallied on anticipation that the Treasury is going to start making purchases on the long end of the curve. At some point, I think that these bonds are going to have to sell-off.

Will the 30 yr rate really go to 0% ?
