Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
FYI: Closed-end municipal-bond funds and preferred stocks both look attractive, with yields in the 6% range—though both are loaded with interest-rate risk. A “barbell” strategy—pairing long-duration assets with safe, short-term securities—makes sense for 2017, says Schwab's Jones.
