Putting the market in perspective

Q

I saw your message in the Dallas Morning News that put the muni market in perspective. As a fairly significant investor in municipal bonds, I have been alarmed and puzzled about the market’s negative actions in recent weeks and have found no answers that make sense to me. I hope your message results in a stable and improved market over the days and weeks to come . Thank you again.

James A. Klotz responds:

Thanks for the kind words. We expect to see an improved market in the weeks to come due to heavy buying by institutions that normally invest only in taxable bonds, but who recognize the value available in the tax-free market.
