I've been buying a lot of longer term yields (up to 10 yrs) well north of 5%, with most of it call protected. 5 yr CDs @ 5% (with CP) seem to have all lost their CP over the past month, but the yields are still good tho' I've passed on them so far. It's not windfall $$$ for me .... so preservation is my mode and I've still got a LOT of shopping to do in the next few months. Don't want any more houses, land, Porsches, hookers or blow

....
