Folks.... It's a good'n...
DROP, STOP, AND ROLL?
The last auction shoe has dropped. The auction stopped through impressively, and the recent roll in MBS is but a faded memory destined to be crushed by day's end (in the sense that everything given up during settlement will be more than recaptured here only a few days after settlement). For now, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say float. We'll let you know if the market sells off 10 ticks or so and MERELY GETS BACK TO PRE-AUCTION TRADING LEVELS!
(it was a good auction...)
