Municipal Bond Forum
Not manna from heaven, but still a good deal
Q
The returns you referred to in your article, “Man Bites Dog, Almost,” can only be achieved by bond traders churning their portfolios. If you buy and hold munis, you will get about 5% to 6% tax free. Still a good deal, but not exactly manna from heaven. Please tell me if I have missed something.
