What do you think about the fact that 10-year treasury future implied vol has continued to rise even after a pull back from 8 to 6 handle on Thursday's violent move in lieu of a stock market rallying back, a small sell off in treasuries, and the $1T proposed European bailout of Greece? Do you view that with bearish or bullish implications?
