You don't seem to play in any of the income producing stocks? REITS are out of favor of late but there is one REIT that supposedly won't be as affected in a rising interest rate market. The symbol is NFI. I took a position the other day to take advantage of this qtrs. dividend currently producing a yield of 17% per annum. The stock is @ $33 today and the yearly dividend is $5.40. There is a stock holder maintained website @ http://www.nfi-info.net
