shorting long term treasuries      4-Mar-09 01:45 am    
I want to short long-term treasuries but I'm leary about using a dbl-short etf like tbt. Doesn't it have a lot of slippage that would eat up the principal if it bounces around a lot? I also want to do this shorting in my 401K account, but it won't let me short anything. I have to buy something (like tbt) that works like a short. Any ideas?
