<DIV><FONT color=#000000>Hi RT's </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#000000></FONT>Quick question in my quest to understand
bonds...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If the feds raise interest rates, how will that affect a corporate bond
fund? Which bond fund category (corporate, mortgage, long, short or
intermediate term) would benefit the most from the rate hike? </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I keep most of my trading account in bonds and then trade the margin.
I do this because I can afford not to make stock market type high volatility
gains, but I can't afford to lose stock market type high volatility losses.
Likewise, I don't park my money in high-yield bond funds either.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I guess I'm asking where to stash the dough when they hike the rates!</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#000000 size=2>Bonds which are callable (corp, mortgage,
municipal) will tend to get called as rates move down and not called as rates
move up thus you need to factor this into the equation as rates move. Obviously,
prices move inversely to yields and longer maturities will experience greater
price moves than shorter. Generally, when rates are moving up I tend to favor
Vanguard Prime MM and Short Term Corporate funds (for yield) and when rates are
moving down I tend to favor Vanguard Long Term and Long Term Treasury (for
capital gains).</FONT></DIV>

I don't really follow the news. I stick mostly just to charts. So
maybe some one can explain this. Soybeans are at 24 yr lows. Needless
to say supply is much greater than demand. But what are the farmers
going to plant this year? More beans. Why? Something to do with a
Bank Loan that gives them $5.26bu (which is the cost of production ?)
And that is more than $2 for corn or $2.50 for wheat. Is this
something that they have to pay back? Or is it some kind of
subsidy? If any of my premises are incorrect please correct them for
me.
thanks, ramon
