Minding Your Munis


Bill Schultheis offers this advice to investors:

-- Don't be afraid to buy muni bonds trading at a premium to par value

-- Make sure you know when a premium bond can be called by its issuer

-- Don't go past five years in maturity, where there's a lot more risk for a little more reward
