Shame On You, Trader. Selling Out Now ?
For 4 months we saw Treasuries trade in the tight range of 1.8% to 2.1% in the 10Y.
For 4 months we had glorious non farm employment numbers and rosy economic data that beat the Citi Surprise Index.
For 4 months we had doom and more doom in the headlines, Greece DEFAULTED AT LAST. UK slapped with ratings warning last night. This week, China has taken over bad news fort.
And after 4 months, Dow hits a 4 Year High.
I wrote about this 2 weeks ago. About the explosion in the balance sheets of the central banks in the world.

| JPM Treasury Client Survey : Outright long highest since Dec 2010 : soon record longs in bonds and stocks |
So Shame On You, Trader, if you buy the banana-bollocks Bernanke did not even say. He just said moderate growth ! haha
I have gone long EEV US, EUM US, VXX US and SDS US last night.
Waiting to buy GLD on dips and will hold EUR/USD, AUD/USD shorts with USD/SGD long.
We are all tired. But we still need to be able to think.
