I am getting really spoiled by being able to throw a question out there to TOTVers and getting information back pretty quickly.
This morning I will no doubt be eligible to win a prize or something for trying to start the most boring thread ever in the history of TOTV.
Although I really hope you are all enjoying those wonderful temperatures and blue skies there and are not chained to the infernal machine (sorry JohnZ) today, I thought I would ask my boring question anyway and see what you all know about it.
Here goes:
I like to educate myself on investment topics, but I have to admit that reading about bonds as investments is somewhat akin to volunteering to having my head pinched in a vise.
What I want to know is what anyone can tell me about highly-rated municipal bonds as investments and how to research and buy them outside of a fund.
btw - How is that potential club that was being discussed a few weeks ago coming along? - the one for just plain learning about investments.
Now, Boomer BeBack (Help me, Rhonda, I am talking about myself in third person. - too much snow this weekend.) will be turning this thing off and checking in later. I gotta get something done today, but I will be back.
Thanks for any help you can give me.
