I've added to the TLT position here this morning @ 94.79. A 20 week low should be forming right here for long bonds. If the TLT trendline fails or prices drop below 94 and stay below that level beyond this week, I'll reconsider the bullish prospects. cheers, john TLT_weekly_Oct_2009.png

Stopped out on 1/2 the position @ 94. Rest may go today.

cheers,

John, My assumption is you still think treasuries are about to make an important low here ? It would make sense for for us to see a flight into bonds shortly if the intermediate-term decline we've all been waiting for is finally underway (based on the DX, it looks like we may have finally made a real top in SPX at mid-Oct)

hi Aly, I had expected bonds to catch a bid already last week in anticiaption of the coming stock market correction. So this week's weakness in TLT is a bit of a surprise. My mental stop is around 94 and that uptrendline. TLT is 21 weeks along off the summer lows, so if bullish, it has to start heading up from here. I'll wait now for confirmation of a bullish resolution. I still hold some Canadian bond ETFs. cheers, john
