M2M (mark to market) is the current accounting rule. So I dont know what you are talking about.[/quote]


Bobus, much obliged for correction; I stand corrected. What I meant was that they were going to change "mark to market" to "mark to Book" values. I am a bit embarrassed for the slip. My apologies.:emsmilep:

Yum, yum - lot of good deals in the market now.

Fear index at all time high - VIX gone nuts - time to make/lose some money. Don't use stop loss, hedge with options or trade spreads - avoid whipsaw effect.

I'm playing the 2 yr. treasury note and Eurodollar in my casino account. TED spread is out of control and there is some opportunity for profits in Eurodollar. 2 Yr./10 Yr. spread looks very interesting too.

Time to use the dry powder to play in the global casino.

Cheers.....
