I'd be careful with options and ed9m. You do get some flight to quality
buying if stocks crack, but you will need a strong belief that the Fed
is going for any significant changes. This contract will not be very
volatile. Easier to play that belief with ED9U which has just as much
volume if not more(it is considered front month). More flight to quality
in TBill futures (TB9U), but much lower liquidity. Also can play it in
the Fed fund futures. There is a high positive correlation with bonds,
but far from perfect.
