Hi Kevin, Actually the main bond fund that I use has started to recover from its lows set in Dec. It's hardly what I'd call a rally, just lifting itself off the recent lows. GSF is the ticker.

It's primarily a long bond portfolio in "Closed End" format so has an extended price cycle following those bonds. I believe it has a 5 year high of near $11/share and bottomed recently near $6. That is plenty of price movement for AIM to use successfully.

Since I own this for income, AIMing it is a secondary issue. When the price is up I'll side-line about 10% of 15% of it as cash reserve and then pump those $$$ back in at times like we've been having recently. The last time I was able to buy it "out of favor" was in '93-'94, I believe. This time around I had spare cash available from buy-outs of other stocks, so I built up the holding much more than just what AIM requested. Time will tell if it was a smart move.

Best regards, Tom

"The Secret Service Eats Here - We Think!!"
