RE:"I thought they don't issue 30s anymore" Yes I know. There a lot of them already issued and they will continue to fluctuate. Half my portfolio is loaded of them (only 23 years to go). The other half is short term bond. Canadian bond give much more interest (9.625% for long and 8.5% for short end, but now it’s less than that since actually I have more than 40% capital gain on long bond). No cash, so I play AMD by selling PUT (they are all out of the money now) and I make more on my put selling then interest from the bond. So I follow bond as much as AMD. Bond give me the margin to sell put. Gottfried
