Michael, I think we are very close to a bottom in rates for notes and bonds. Bills may still have further to go as they are more closely related to Fed shenanigans.

Munis could get a short term boost if Calif. is bailed out. But after that, I would think about pulling in maturities a bit. Or, buying a few T-bond futures put options as insurance. But be careful. Remember that each contract represents the right to put $100,000 worth of bonds, not $1000. I hope that doesn't sound patronizing, but I had a friend who worked at an insurance co. who didn't understand that and caused a few problems, including his own sudden departure from money management.
