Kip, thanks for the great suggestions. I have been using the 10 year Treasury as my benchmark. I have given serious thought of selling my bond funds if the treasury goes above 4% and stays above 4% for about a week or two. So, that would be my trigger point for selling off my long term bond funds and avoiding the risk of my total returns going south. Of course, I would track the domestic and global markets for signs of continued recovery.

Going into short term bond funds is certainly worth considering. CD's are the next best thing. Of course, Money Market Funds are a waste of time, unless rates start moving up.

Will continue to keep my eye on the treasuries and continue to watch the global, like Greece, and the domestic economic
environment.

Thanks again for the assistance.
