RE: "... has anyone given thought on how to protect their interest rate sensitive investments? ... My thoughts have ranged from 'doing nothing' to selling all my bond holdings and start moving into CD's and living off the cash generated by the sale of the funds."

I'm also trying to come up with a fixed income solution or alternative. I had been moving my T-Bill money into CDs, but now CD rates are SO low. I have loads of GNMAs, but I hate to rely on GNMAs in a rising interest rate cycle. I just purchased my first TIP (10-year bond), with the hope that the inflation protection will minimize the impact of rising interest rates.

While the answer may be investing in dividend paying stocks with a history of dividend increases, I hate to invest my "fixed income money" in the stock market after a huge rise in the market.

I look forward to seeing responses to your post.

Best wishes,

I2
