 U.S. Treasury Bond Futures and Options, T-Bonds, T-Notes
U.S. Treasury bond futures were first introduced, followed by futures on 10-year, 5-year, and 2-year U.S. Treasury notes.
Because of CBOT Treasury bond and note futures respond to the same economic forces that affect cash fixed-income securities, you can use them to help control the risk of holding these securities as well as to improve returns.
Options, cash and futures markets are separate and distinct and do not necessarily respond in the same way to similar market stimulus.

  The Association of Certified Treasury Managers
Valuation of options on bonds is considerably more complex than the pricing of options on stocks and stock indices mainly because of the vastly greater complexity of the bond price dynamics as compared to the dynamics of stock prices.
To value options on bonds (or options embedded in them), it is, therefore, usual to regard the interest rate rather than the bond price as the underlying variable.
The yields and volatilities are for zero-coupon bonds of the given tenor, and, for simplicity, the yields are on an annually compounded basis instead of the semi-annual compounding which is customary in quoting bond yields.

 Bond Options Might Do the Job
But while bond futures and related options probably provide the most accurate, liquid markets for trading Treasury instruments across all duration periods, they have certain aspects (such as the need for a commodities futures account) and pricing structures that can make them inaccessible and inappropriate for many retail investors.
The Chicago Board of Options Exchange offers options on four different interest rate indices, ranging from one with a 13-week duration to one that tracks rates on 30-year bonds.
This leads to a severe lack of liquidity in the options markets, because no spillover volume in the form of hedging or combination positions can be generated.

Options can be used in more traditional corporate borrowing or to accomplish some unusual types of financing, for example where both the borrower and the lender are willing to bear some risk in the hope of greater rewards.
These are standard bonds, but the issuer also has bought a call option from the investor to buy the bond back at specified prices (the call prices) on specified dates (the call dates).
If the call option writer had himself bought a call option from somewhere else, for whatever reason, the writing of the call option to the corporation actually results in a net reduction in his risk, also.

 Montréal Exchange (Mx) - New Options
Bond option strategies range from hedging a bond portfolio to outright trading based on expectations regarding interest rate fluctuations.
Using bond options allows hedgers to manage their bond portfolios in a number of ways including: lock-in the price of future bond purchase, protect the value of debt portfolios, lock-in the cost of future financing and hedge the cost of long-term borrowing.
For speculators, bond options are flexible tools that permit them to profit from their view on future interest rate fluctuations with limited risk.

 Margin Commodity Options How To, Commodity Options Margin Tutorial
The option contract's size is identical to the underlying futures contract, but the point or *tick* value is different.
In addition, because an option purchase whether it be a put or a call, only requires the payment of the premium and no margin, we will establish our hypothetical option position as a short sale of a call option.
Because your options are still in the money, your new margin requirement is derived from the underlying futures margin requirement of $2700 per contract plus the option premium on a mark to market basis.

Options There are four basic option strategies that financial intermediaries might employ to hedge movement in interest rates.
Buying a Call Option on a Bond provides the buyer with the right, but not the obligation, to purchase the underlying bond from the writer of the option at the exercise or strike price on or before the expiration date.
In the covered call strategy, the intermediary is ‘long the bond’ and seeks to hedge the interest rate risk on that bond by writing a call option on a bond.

 Bond and Mortgage Information
For bond redemptions which are scheduled to occur in the future, the bonds to be redeemed have not been defeased, and such redemptions are subject to the availability of moneys to pay the redemption price and accrued interest thereon.
For redemption funds held by a trustee pursuant to a general bond resolution, such general bond resolution may, under certain circumstances, require the use of such redemption funds for purposes other than the redemption of bonds.
For bonds scheduled to be redeemed under an optional redemption provision, such bonds remain subject to redemption at par prior to the applicable optional redemption date, to the extent otherwise permitted, including for term bonds, from sinking fund installments.

 Advanced Bond Concepts: Duration
It is an important measure for investors to consider, as bonds with higher durations carry more risk and have higher price volatility than bonds with lower durations.
Bonds with high coupon rates and, in turn, high yields will tend to have lower durations than bonds that pay low coupon rates or offer low yields.
Because the modified duration formula shows how a bond's duration changes in relation to interest rate movements, the formula is appropriate for investors wishing to measure the volatility of a particular bond.

 The Seattle Times: Business & Technology: Savings-bond options shrink after Aug. 31
With the HH bond program ending, many savers need to take a careful look at their savings-bond holdings now so they decide what to do.
Daniel Pederson, a savings-bond consultant and author of "Savings Bonds — When to Hold, When to Fold and Everything In-Between," pointed out that E and EE bonds currently are paying between 3 and 4 percent annual interest while the HH bonds have been assigned a 1.5 percent rate for the next 10 years.
For example, if people don't need the income from the bonds and want to avoid the taxes, "it might be a good idea to convert (to HH bonds) and look to systematically sell those bonds to spread the tax gain out over a number of years," Richards said.

 Option Trading Tutorial 4 - Time Spread on US 30 Year Treasury Bond Futures   (Site not responding. Last check: )
When putting on time spreads, option traders often say it is a good idea to sell the front month option (and buy the back month option) in an attempt to take advantage of time decay.
This method makes a lot of sense because options are, after all, a decaying asset and loose their value very quickly as expiration approaches.
The front month options haven't moved since last update and the movements in the back month call and put options have simply offset one another to leave us flat.

We were long a few hundred bond futures and short a lot of volatility, and we were sure we had it right.
We went into the night session and bonds were limit up, putting them in the low 80-00’s (I may be off a handle here or there, this is all from memory), right where we thought they were going.

 Futures Knowledge - Options
Options have the primary advantage of limiting downside risk: For any option that is purchased, the most that can be lost is the premium (or cost) of the option plus commission and other transaction fees.
One tick in the bond options market is 1/64 of a point and has a value of $15.625.
With June bonds futures at 96-29, for example, the June bond call option struck at 96 may be trading at 1-38 or 102 ticks equal to $1,593.75.

The managers of the High-Yield Bond Fund employ extensive credit research and internal credit rating analysis to help identify bond issues and corporate issuers that appear best able to meet their future business needs and debt obligations.
The portfolio holdings are well-diversified among both industries and bond issuers to help reduce risk in the portfolio as a whole.
These ratings are due to the insurance on the bonds in the portfolio and not on the funds themselves.

Zoukee prepared cost projections and the tax-rate impact for five, 10, 15 and 20-year bonds and suggested that the town purchase a five-year bond because it would reduce the total cost.
If the warrant article for the new highway facility passes this year, the first bond payment would be due in February 2006, just one month after the final bond payment for the 1990 police station renovations will be paid.
Also, if the money is bonded, the interest rates are locked for the length of the bond and the town cannot pay down the principal, as compared with a loan from a private bank, in which these terms can be negotiated.

I am thinking that the best approach is to treat them as long equity options against short equity but that is not 100% accurate as CB has both bond and stock component in it with interest rate floor and stock vols affecting the option price.
