I sold my gnma's. Not much (if any) upside from here. I was reinvesting the dividends but didn't really want to buy more shares at these prices. I always figure that if I wouldn't 'buy' at a certain price, maybe I should 'sell'.

Rate (on gnma) down to a little over 3%. It doesn't seem likely (surprise) but if mortgage rates rise, or look like they may rise, gnma won't take long to drop.

Since you can't sell during the day and when you do sell you don't know how much you sold for till it's over I decided to sell. Around $10.60's. Av cost per share about $10.30.

You can find 2% cds pretty easy. 1% less than gnma with zero risk.

That's "attractive" to me.
