Jim, I would avoid interest sensitive trades from the long side for a while. Rates are much more likely to go up that drop. No real upside. If you are satisfied with the yield and safety - sure go ahead and capture the payment rate. The triple bottom on the ^RMS in the last 2 days didn't provide the expected bounce, so 553 is in jeopardy. If it is violated at the close, I will be lightening up on the trading portion of the portfolio. Richard
