Bond strategies (Short term? Fed/state Tax free?) I have pulled out of the market. I have several 100k that I want to put aside. At this level, even 1% can make a significant difference. Therefore, I want one step above money market/CD. I dont want bonds w/ TOO much risk. It seems with the inverted yield, and threatened rate increases, short term bonds are the only way to go. (eg: 30 years are down 20% YTD!) What do you suggest? A bond fund? Stay w/ short term? Also, what about tax free bonds? Like buying a utility bond that is fed and state tax free. With a 33-36% tax bracket, that can result in an additional 3-4% points!! Please state any tickers of bond funds you may suggest Thanks a ton!
