And then you'd lose a large portion of your principle when a ton of these municiplaites and state issued bonds that make up a large portion of bond funds go into default, and they are forced to file bankruptcy in the near future due to loss of tax revenue due to Covid shutdowns, non-renewals on leased property, falling commercial property values, underfunded pensions and other unfunded liabilities and the overall general fiscal irresponsibility of their mostly democrat leaders over the last 20-40 years. Pelosi has been pushing for $2 trillion to bail out these Dem run cities and states and that's what Trump and the senate have refused to do. It's coming, wait and watch.


Remember, I just won it. That $30,000 is just added gravy to my current retirement plan. And I would never invest in Muni's. It would be spread across dividend stocks and corporate bonds. I just received my .445 dividend for my EPD stock. That equates to almost a 10% ROI at the current share price. Have a nice day.
