some folks even calculate yield-to-call when they buy those bonds

Indeed they do... but Brinker recommended CA GO bonds before they were "prerefunded" and it sounds like he still holds some but he was too big a coward to answer the question about the advice he gave on the radio.

Are you too big a fool to admit Brinker would have been better to recommend 5 YR CDs or Treasuries to people he recommended CA GO Bonds to?

Lets play Octavian and say "I betcha that is the third question today you won't answer."

Is it impossible for YOU to admit Brinker gave less than good advice and was too big a coward to own up to it?

Is Kirk correct in saying that the pre-refunding means the bond-holder makes less money than planned? If so, does that mean that the state lowers the interest paid to the bond-holder, or is it just because the bond will be called and the interest rates the bond-holder will be able to reinvest at will be lower?
