Corporate Bonds, (not bond funds) buys and sells.

This fits me exactly. I used to prefer munis, but after RE my taxable income went down and the AT return of BBB corporates was better. Now I am approaching RMD’s in -6 years and our bracket will go back up, so I’m going back to munis. DW is inheriting some $ this year and that’s where it will go. I’m also raising the target rating to A.
Roy, if ever find one appealing please consider posting its CUSIP, assuming still available. Have looked too occasionally, rarely pulled trigger. Usually tax equivalent yield still not appealing, or maturity too long, if revenue backed seems often only by small college or health facility. If GO may only be small village or township. But occasionally do check my screens. Thanks.

For the fixed portion of my portfolio I buy cash equivalents (mm,cds), some debt cefs which I view as the riskiest portion of my fixed portfolio, individual preferreds (term and perpetual), individual investment grade corp. bonds and baby bonds. The latter is a significant portion of my fixed portfolio. I check a lot of variables before purchase, only list a few via posting cause of time. Intention is to hold till matures or called. Usually maturity date not that far out. So basically unless the bond defaults there is no risk. This approach works for me.
