RE: I have NAC and MUC in a taxable account I also have MUC, NAC, NKX, and VCV in a taxable account. Same account that's holding a few individual CA GOs. One is getting called next month so I'm considering splitting the proceeds from that to these 4 CA Muni bond CEFs rather than going out and rebuying another individual CA GO. Anyone see any downside other thant the fluctuation of price in buying the CEFs vs the individual GO? I figure if I go with the CEFs I get more yield (more risk too cause some use Leverage), more liquidity that selling an individual bond. More flexibility as I don't have to sell like 25k of a bond if I need it I can just liquidate a portion of a Muni CEF. Plus I don't have to worry about the calling anymore, I let the CEF managers worry all about that. I have heard some say that not all of the distribution is non tax because some could be ROC or something like that. I'm thinking for all the flexibility I get and the increased yield, plus they pay monthly, I should just go with the 4 CEFs instead of getting another individual bond. Thoughts?
