Re: dec bonds

This is from Manuel Ochoa from TRADEHARD.com. I have
followed his analysis and it does make sense.

T-bond futures 

"The December futures (USZ9) continued to rally after
yesterday’s lower-than-expected Employment Cost Index
(ECI) today's lower-than-expected New Home Sales. 

Further, the Purchasing Management Association Index,
which measures buying activity by companies, came in
on the low side as well. All of this has caused a huge
rally in bonds, including massive short covering. The
economic perception has shifted to a more favorable
inflation outlook. 

With all of this enthusiasm, however, we expect bonds
to pull back a bit; we think the market has gotten
ahead of itself. We went short at the 113 15/32 area
with stops in at the 114 19/32 level and a profit
target around 112 15/32. "

I went short on bonds Friday on the close because of
the fact that my timing model is bearish(has been for
3 weeks now) and I got a sell signal on two of my
short term models.
