Heinz I am buying treasury strips at 6.5% to 6.6% yields. Most strips around 12 to 14 year maturity are yielding this interest.Price around $370 to $450 per bond strip. I may think to establish a spread by selling the underlying bond. Priced at $1340 to $1400 per bond. (depending on wen they were issued be careful to buy/sell same date of maturity) Leverage 2 to 1. Yearly cost - apx. 3.3% upside potential can be substantial and well depends on interest rates <G> BWDIK Haim
