Limited supply of Build America Bonds
Q
What are Build America Bonds? Are they still available to be purchased? If so, are they a good deal?
A
James A. Klotz responds:

Although this program no longer exists, there are some bonds issued in the past that are sometimes available in the marketplace but availability is extremely limited.
