Andrew Brenner Quotations

I find it difficult to believe the Fed will not continue to view strength in the U.S. economy and continue to tighten.

We're praying for rain and snow and anything else that can cause a problem.

It is only a matter of time before 10-years break 5 percent.

People are nervous. You could get some really violent moves tomorrow.

It does not look like they will stop tightening in the near term. Those of us that thought they would stop at 4.75 percent will be looking at 5 percent in May.

The rate rise in the ECB has been pressuring the Bund market -- all of the European bond market is down at this point -- and that is starting to push its way into our bond market.

We definitely felt like we had something to prove after we lost down at Bandon. We came out really weak there and they just jumped all over us. But we knew we had to come out with a fast start, and that's exactly what we did.

We have been hearing various rumors today about bad positions. The last one deals with a convertible (debt) desk at a major primary dealer imploding. This continues to be a catalyst for the buying of Treasuries.

We have seen some reallocation out of equities into bonds this afternoon.

When you play this badly in a big tournament, you don't want to do it again. All we can do now is try harder to improve at district.

We all know the housing market is slowing, and people are blowing this housing data off a bit.

Up until the last employment report I thought for sure they were going to wait until August,

Those that thought the central-bank buying would not be there for the auction have been proven wrong.

Bonds are well bid on the theory that this will slow down the U.S. economy,

There's nothing positive to be said about it. What's happening now is foreigners are looking to buy higher yielding paper, including agency and corporate debt.

The three-year was a great auction...but it just doesn't matter that much to the market. The next key piece of information really is how the Fed phrases the statement (on the U.S. economy, which it habitually makes after policy meetings).

Ten-year notes should trade above 5 percent this week.

People are very scared of the employment number tomorrow.

The weakness in the stock market, the fact that the charts and trends look so bad, is going to keep an underlying bid under the bond market.

The bond market is collapsing. What goes up must come down.

Is this the beginning of the end? Multiple Fed speakers...talking about the Fed being done or close to done.

Buy bonds now. The bond market is poised to trade higher.
