Nice suggestion..but not the same. For example..one book on market timing i've been reading suggests exiting the stock market when the fed funds rate increases by x% very fast.. It would be nice to be able to have this as a variable accessible by Excel to program into some templates i am creating to fundamentally time the market (not daily..but long term). If it is a free indicator, why not include it? I know its free because the Fed bank has it at its website going back scores of years. Having to jump around to different sites, though is time consuming and a source of errors. Gotta go cook my pizza and drink my cola. Its hot here..95 degrees and humid..uggh.

The new T-bill is substituted weekly on the trading day following its auction, usually a Monday. FVX, TNX and TYX are based on 10 times the yield-to-maturity on the most recently auctioned 5-year Treasury note, 10-year Treasury note and 30-year Treasury bond, respectively. LEAPS are long-dated options that expire in approximately two to three years from the date of initial listing. Options are European style exercise and are available in up to three near-term months followed by three additional months from the March quarterly cycle. LEAPS expire in December of the expiration year. > > > > It's not fed funds, but the shape of the chart is almost identical. > > Gary > > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Harry M.
