Q: Hi Peter & team;
I submitted a question on Dec 22 with reference to shorts on bond funds and got a small part of it answered. The reason I am interested in shorts on the various bond funds is because Amber Kanwar from BNN stated on
Dec 18 that TLT has shorts of 119%. She stated that somehow the way the bond etfs are ,they are able to borrow more than 100% to short??. On the same date Chris Low from FTN Financial stated that in the next two months we will see the mother of all short coverings in bond funds. I would appreciate your help with the items in my question. I also asked a question about Retrocomm mid market reit and no answer. Thanks for your help and all the best in 2014.
