[quote=Anonymous]You can either add muni bond funds or actual municipal bonds. Bond funds are somewhat of a cyclical investment. In theory, right now they are a good investment if the Fed starts lowering rates. You do want to pay attention to how much leverage (or not) the bond fund uses to "juice" returns and you need to decide between a mutual fund or closed-end fund. You can purchase highly rated state-specific municipal bonds through your broker. If you go this route, you know the dividend you will receive and you will get back your principal. I think right now is a good time to add municipal bonds to your portfolio...just understand if you buy a mutual fund or closed-end fund you want to pay attention to when the Fed ends its rate-cut cycle and of course when it intends to increase rates again.[/quote]
