| PAST TOP PICK | 32.590 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick July 16/10. Down 8.47%.) Ultra Short 20+ US Treasury ETF. Got ambushed when the US fed started buying back their own paper. Still thinks the rates are going to rise. | 2011-06-17 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 33.330 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick July 16/10. Down 6.79%.) Ultra Short 20+ US Treasury ETF. | 2011-05-27 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 33.580 | Derek Webb, CFA | (A Top Pick April 12/11. Up 2.8%.) Sold April Calls. | 2011-05-24 | |
| TOP PICK | 38.090 | Derek Webb, CFA | Wants to try to protect himself from interest rates. It is the inverse of the 20-year bond in the US. If interest rates go up it goes up. He is long TBT, writing options on TBT to get the options premium. 2.9% option premium. Option expiration is this Saturday. | 2011-04-12 | |
| PAST TOP PICK | 38.180 | Bill Carrigan | (A Top Pick July 18/10. Up 7.27%.) Felt that rates would go up. Was surprised that they went up as fast as they did. | 2010-12-20 | |
| DON'T BUY | 31.210 | Jeff Black | Ultra Short 20+ yr Treasury ETF. (Shorts long-term debt of the treasury.) Hard to see where they could go much lower but how long they stay down remains to be seen. Day trading oriented, especially with the 2X leverage. | 2010-09-29 | |
| DON'T BUY | 35.850 | John Hood | Ultra Short 20+ Year Treasury ETF. This is a 2 X leveraged bond fund so it is not something you would hold long-term. Replete with risks and not for the average investor. | 2010-07-30 | |
| TOP PICK | 35.740 | Bill Carrigan | Ultra Short 20+ US Treasury ETF. He is a bull so is bearish on bonds. | 2010-07-16 | |
| DON'T BUY | 38.780 | Andrew McCreath | Ultra Short 20+ Yr Treasury ETF. Warning flag for him is that this is an ultra at 2X or 3X. Actual underlying bond may have a certain price movement that will not be correlated at all to what the ETF does. Do not get involved with doubles or triples. | 2010-05-26 | |
| Comment | 50.710 | Joey Mack | Shorting bonds? More difficult and very limited compared to typical stock trades and margin requirements are usually such that it doesn't make a lot of sense. ETF’s would be the space to do this. Thinks yields are going higher and the best bang for your buck in terms of bond prices falling is at the long end. Yields should go higher in the US than in Canada. This ETF is probably the easiest way to do it. | 2010-01-06 | |
| TOP PICK | 44.590 | Peter Grandich | ProShares Ultra Short 20+ yr Treasury ETF. In 3 years interest rates will be dramatically higher in the US. Also, the US$ is dead. This is a good way of betting against that. | 2009-09-25 | |
| Comment | 52.240 | Hank Cunningham | Governments everywhere, certainly in North America, are expensive. 10 years at around 3.26%/3.29% and are probably going to 4% by the end of the year. That's getting back to where they should be in a normal world. | 2009-05-08 | |
| WATCH | 46.110 | Vinny Catalano | ProShare Ultra Short 7-10 yr. (PST-N) vs. ProShare Ultra Short 20+ yr. (TBT-N). You really have to watch carefully for a good spot to step in. Government stimulus will ultimately result in inflation. Inflation means lower bond prices. Government is going to have to step into the market and float a whole bunch of bonds and we don't know if there is an appetite out there for this. | 2009-03-25 | |
| BUY | 45.960 | Kevin O'Leary | Allows you to go Short the long treasury. He wants rates to go back up at some point. Because he thinks they will, this thing is going to be a winning trade. The risk is that the US government starts buying long bond as part of its recovery. If so, he'll say OOPS it was a bad idea. | 2009-02-12 | |
| Comment | 62.630 | Don Vialoux | Double leveraged reverse ETF. Word of caution, the company sponsoring this is Lehman Brothers. | 2008-10-20 |
