## Caption

Jim Cramer called for a bond short squeeze, and he got every single condition he asked for: consumer confidence at its lowest since 2014, oil down 5%, inflation soft. Three reasons to rally in three sessions, and yet the 10 year hit a 24 year high and TLT just printed a record low. Mike Butler runs the math on whether the setup is actually there, a quarter of TLT's float is short, about 135 million shares, which is a lot of people who would have to buy to cover if it ever turns.
