I would like to thank publicly Siegfried Rambaum and Randy Summer for their help in my quest for info on GNMA bonds.

You make me feel ashamed, Viron, as it was no great deal. If you need more
information on GMNAs ... maybe this thought might help:

The Chicago Board of Trade had been trading a futures contract on GNMAs in
the seventies and the beginning of the eighties.

Maybe, somewhere in the back of their publication storage rooms they still
have some of the information brochures they used to give away on that
futures contract. and as the CBoT has a toll free number, just calling
them and asking wether they still have some of that somewhere might be
warrented. The number is (800) THE-CBOT ... If the one who answers the
phone doesn't know, what you might be talking about, ask to have your call
connected to Jorg Gruhler within CBoT ... Just relay a hi from me (I am in
Munich, Germany) and I am sure, Jorg will try to unearth some of these --
by now historical -- brochures for you ... :)))

The stuff will tell you, how the by now defunct futures market worked ...
but it will also tell you, what GNMAs are .. and I can't help the idea,
that you only have a vague idea, what they might be. The fact, that you
refer to those instruments as "bonds" makes me suspect this ...
