There seems to be a substancial Real Trader interest in trading Treasury
Bonds. I've noticed that the bonds are something of a different animal. My
knowledge of the bonds is very superficial but here is a few things I've
noticed.

Where as most commodity contracts have some positive time premium difference
between contract months the bonds usually or always have a negitive time
premium between contracts. Why that is, I'm not sure unless it has something
to do with the cost of interest over time.

The bonds seem to have an effect on all other trading instruments, from
stocks to grains. I think this must be because most business, including
farming involves the use of borrowed money, the cost of financing, and the
return on interest sensitive investments.

The bonds don't seen to have very substancial participation in back months
judging from the number of days that have no range, but they have very
substancial liquidity in the front month.

Any other questions or observations about T-Bonds are welcome.
