In Muni Land, The Yield Curve Never Inverts

  • Thanks, Ted. I note this sentence: "Only an investor paying the very top federal rate (37% plus the 3.8% Medicare surtax) would gain significantly by opting for the tax-free muni."
  • @crash
    The quote taken out of context is misleading as it only refers to short term munis. The article says that investors in the 15% tax bracket would benefit from long term munis.
  • +1. Excellent. Thanks for that!
