KZ <<I might as well give you my rmbs investing history. I first bought rmbs on May 28, 1997 with half my 401K that I had acquired by working 8.5 years at Intel and 5.5 years at Sun. I wanted to use all of it but my Dean Witter broker talked my down to half. Price was $30.75 and I sold on 7/9/97 at $50. Then I bought again on 8/2/99 at $86 and sold for the second time on 8/17/99 at $86. Finally I bought for the third time on 9/2/99 at 85.5 and sold on 9/7/99 at $90. That's my story>> My advice Stick to the day job and invest in bonds. You never make any money with stocks. You made ONLY 20 pts on RMBS in over 2 yrs. I owe the government more than my wife's yearly salary as a dentist on RMBS short term capital gains. She saw me write the check last month and decided it's getting time for her to retire. LOL john
