We're thinking along the same lines here. I just pulled up these: etfconnect.com etfconnect.com etfconnect.com etfconnect.com etfconnect.com (EDIT: Weird - I can cut and paste the links and they work, but clicking on them in SI doesn't cut it. Anybody know why?) It looks like the ideal way to do it would be to keep your fingers crossed for another little liquidity event, and have the bids ready to pick up the shares at a decent discount. My perception is that the ETF takes a dump during these events more due to general lack of liquidity - somebody needs to raise cash - as opposed to increased probability that the bonds go bad. Anybody got any history on the downside risks to muni investing? I know there have been a couple of high-profile blowups along the way, but my impression is that the municipality has to be pretty leveraged to get itself into a position so bad that it can't tax its way back out.
