Thanks for the information. Since my last posting, I spoke to a number of bond traders. I was told that Muni Bonds many not change very much once the Feds start to raise rates. The reasons are simply: (1) As the economy improves, revenues will once again start flowing into the State's Treasuries and the bond rating will more than likely be raised, and (2) As the Federal, State and Local governments start increasing fees and taxes people in the higher tax brackets will start moving into muni's. So, given what I said and the article you provided me, I think I'm just going to sit tight and let this play out. Stock Bull
