What is the boards thoughts on BAB's? There has been a minor sell off so that discounts have widened and yields are up to over 7%. Very good quality, some leverage. Not tax free but great for IRA's. I'm considering BBN a Blackrock CE Fund. Nuveen also has some as well as Powershares.

  • I've been watching Nuveen's offerings, NBB and NBD. They are similar to investment grade bonds in their profile, and the supply is limited (the program has been terminated last year). If the discount widens anymore, i'll be buying in my tax-deferred account as well.
