Capitalizing on an ill-advised prediction

Q

Please don’t deride Meredith Whitney’s powers of prediction (“Know Your Expert“)! I thank her and FMSbonds for the greatest muni bond buying opportunity of my lifetime. I have her picture hanging in my office and eagerly await her next prognostication. My only complaint: The bonds are being called before I am interested in losing them.

We are pleased to hear you were able to take advantage of that situation. We don’t think you should expect new predictions from her regarding muni bonds anytime soon.
