stock bull,

I have to confess that I am not sure you will be achieving your objective by moving from bond funds to GNMAs , preferreds, etc. You may reduce your rate sensitivity somewhat, but you'll still have quite a bit, in my opinion.

Saw something recently about some iShares ETFs that invest in muni bonds and have a maturity date when the bonds mature (and presumably the fund liquidates). That's about all I know about them (first one "matures" in 2013, I think), so please do not consider this a recommendation.

Good Luck.
