<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since I last posted, I have been having trouble 
with my emails, but with the kindness and consideration which is the hallmark of 
those that tirelessly run the RT forum, I am back and running.&nbsp;&nbsp; At 
least this post is designed to be the proof of it....</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Since we started the day with an Inside Day trade 
set-up, it has been excessively boring watching and waiting for the bonds to 
break.&nbsp; The north was not on and a move to the south was soon scuppered 
and, as I write, we are mid-way with just a glimmer of a possibility that we 
will go north again.&nbsp; This same glimmer means that the Spoos have taken a 
dive and, once more, have broken yesterday's low.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From the angle and general movement, the bonds are 
wanting to go down but it is the S&amp;P that is keeping them up.&nbsp;&nbsp; We 
very rarely have an inside day (or virtually one, bar a tick!) on an inside day, 
so I assume we will get our break - just a question of when and which 
direction.&nbsp; We'll see...&nbsp; but there ought to be some money to be made 
if it goes.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Meanwhile...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Let me tell you about a&nbsp;seminar which is being 
held in England at the beginning of June, based on electronic trading of the 
Eurex.&nbsp; The guys who are doing this used to be on the desk in London for 
the Bank of America et al and now individually trade from home, with direct 
terminals into the exchange.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am sure this is the way that trading 
is going to be in the future.&nbsp; I believe this new instrument in the 
European scene has an even larger daily volume than the T-Bonds, which is saying 
something.&nbsp;&nbsp; Anyway, I don't want great accusations of perpetrating 
spam or whatever, but if anyone wants to know the website to get details, I will 
be pleased to furnish it - privately of course!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Back to the bonds - they gotta do something, 
shortly......</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well, the bonds did finally do something - but not 
much!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Went long on the growing wedge-like expectation of 
the a rise to the north, which I said in my last post, and came out briskly on 
the return bar of the J-Hook, which as you can see was formed directly opposite 
the Doji Sandwich on the Spoos.&nbsp;&nbsp; These two instruments trading so 
beautifully in opposite directions, help me enormously.&nbsp; But since it is 
clearly the Boos following the Spoos (unlike the other way round a few years 
ago), the interaction is fine for the bond trader - since the volatility of the 
S&amp;P is in his favour, rather than the lack of it (comparatively!) the other 
way round.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hope that all makes sense...&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Not 
a lot of money, but 8 up and 8 down (so far!) gives you half a big point from a 
pretty basic and simple way of looking at the market.&nbsp; Anyway, I shall have 
to come out shortly, regardless.&nbsp;&nbsp; Not a brilliant day, but bread on 
the come the finish!</FONT></DIV>
