Existing Position: TBTs: Long 63.04 ATR 1.07

Name of Instrument: Ultrashort Lehman 20+ Yr Treasuries

****Lowered to original sell Stop: 61.98

Current Price: 63.49

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.

First Target: 67.24 for 1/2
