Advice:
Treasuries rose in the first half of 2014 to almost erase last years losses as the U.S. economy contracted while conflict in Iraq and Ukraine fueled demand for the safest securities. The Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Bond Index climbed 3.2 percent this year through the end of last week, after declining 3.4 percent in 2013. The Bloomberg Global Developed Sovereign Bond Index rallied 4.9 percent, after falling 4.6 percent last year. Winter storms in the first three months of the year slowed housing, consumption and employment growth. U.S. gross domestic product shrank at an annual rate of 2.9 percent in the first quarter, the worst reading since the same three months in 2009, the Commerce Department said last week. Yields havent risen as many had been looking for at the start of the year, said Craig Collins, managing director of rates trading at Bank of Montreal in London. As we saw with recent gross domestic product revisions, the recovery is not as robust as anticipated. Federal Reserve governors have been very optimistic on their growth forecasts for second half of the year. Were going to need to see that materialize in stronger data before yields can rise substantially. The benchmark 10-year yield was little changed today at 2.52 percent at 7:19 a.m. in New York, according to Bloomberg Bond Trader data. The rate has dropped 50 basis points, or 0.50 percentage point, since Dec. 31. The price of the 2.5 percent note maturing in May 2024 was 99 27/32.

My position on MBS:

Short term stays Neutral.
(leaning towards Long ).
Long term stays Neutral.

Long = I anticipate pricing to improve which leads to lower Rates.
Neutral = Market should stay close to open plus or minimums 25bps.
Short = I anticipate pricing to weaken which leads to higher Rates.

Short term = 1 - 2 days out
Long term = 30+ days out
