General Comments or Valuable Insight
?What worked in the late 70's and 80's for the big hedge funds is back in vogue.
During those years Soros, Jones & Robertson would lever up their balance sheets and take the other side of Central Bank currency intervention and ram it down their throats!
For every Billion a central bank spent they would lever up 10 Bil and take the other side.
Now you're seeing this price action emanate throughout the world Bond markets. Between Pimco, Doubleline & Gross, these few big Bond funds, just in the U.S., have assets closing in on 400 Billion. Now add in everyone else.
The ECB doesn't stand a chance. The intervention was eaten alive and the big boys are looking for any rally to jam down their throats.
Trade the price action with the big boys and sell any failed rallies.
