patron, I had taken some of Sir John Templeton's advise to buy some non callable AAA debt. During the last back up in the 30 and 10 year I had bought an initial position. Of course it was not a large portion in my portfolio. <g> I was concerned with this position since the commercials were net short expecting that I would be adding before it was all over. <ggg> Joan
