Name of Instrument: Ultrashort Lehman 20+ Yr Treasuries

Breakeven Stop: 63.04

Current Price: 64.55

Reason For Trade: Total bottom fishing based on recent brick wall bottom. Tight risk to under recent lows. I also see a possible sea change with the FED as far as keeping rates low along with the start of some potentially inflationary data-rising cost, lower production.
