The bonds I'm talking about are(mainly) 30yr and 30yr ultra bonds, they have a face value of 100k. The other bonds will be in the mix also, but the lion share will(IMO) be 100k.

A disclaimer to all this... this is what I observe day in and day out trading bonds for a living. It doesn't mean that's what is going to happen, this is just what I've seen in the past.

Im assuming these bonds are in $10k amounts.

Edit: I looked it up and T-Bonds start at $1k
