Municipal Bonds

[jeffmem]

Anyone have any high interest, low investment, high rated municipal bonds they found out about?

Also would be interested in corporate bonds, provided the interest is also tax free like the municipal bonds.

What state do you live in? Vanguard may have a municipal bond fund for your state, and that'd be the best option.

[jeffmem]

Well, I am currently out of the country so actually I could care less about what state it's in. My goal is low risk, high return, AAA+ rating.

Good luck.

For a reality check, you might want to look at Zion's Direct's Bonds for Less:

I will check them, but was hoping for some suggestions by people who have already invested. Are municipal bonds not the choice for people anymore?

I have ... And I think your expectations are overly-high.

If you're interested in investing in muni's, you will need to choose between higher-grade or higher-yield.

[jeffmem]

Yeah I know you are probably right. But I am looking for a balance, less risk but higher yield.

Sure we are, but it appears few people seek municipality bonds...
