Scanning my daily reads, it seems that fear is so absolutely persistant throughout the markets that there exist some diff bet opportunities.

one that i like right now is short the 3 mo Tbill rate, long the euodollar futures contract. the spread between the LIBOR rate and the spot 3motbill rate is around 1.4% (largest in a long while).

i think that while markets may get a bit more crazy before they calm down, the level of fear now is persistant enough to enter this diff bet trade.

i'd put a +25% signal on this trade (long since i'm betting the spread narrows)

other ideas welcome
