    Closed end usually sell at a discount to net asset value, and may come into favor as tax rates go higher. Anyone know a good AMT free closed end intermediate to short maturity closed end fund? Reply

    I own shares in MIY. I called Blackrock and they told me that 12.32% of the income from the fund is subject to AMT. I have had to pay AMT they last two years and it look like I will have to for some time to come. With Michigan's income tax rate at 4.35%, is it better to put the money in a national AMT-free muni bond fund and pay the Michigan income tax or leave it as is? Reply

    I appreciate your emphasis of the muni bond market, but how does buying an ETF avoid one's exposure to default risk? Muni bond defaults would reduce the prices of the ETFs. Reply

    I have a bunch of the CEFs and am very happy with them. They've been looking pretty sad lately but are starting to turn around now. All the CEFs I have are still giving regular dividends, none have given capital yet (since I've had them) so I figure I'm still winning. I love them! Reply

    I'm a big fan of PIMCO; Bill Gross is one savvy dude and perhaps THE world bond-guru. He's got several closed-end muni funds that bear investigating IMHO. Reply

    Exactly. Why say the pickings are slim when there's lots of closed-end funds? Reply

    iShares S&P California Municipal Bond Fund (CMF)
    iShares S&P New York Municipal Bond Fund (NYF)

    Perhaps the closed-end funds are a better bet, if they're trading at a discount to NAV. Any thoughts on any of the ones listed here?:

    Great article. Shouldn't it be updated to include ETFs like
    iShares S&P California Municipal Bond Fund (CMF)?
