    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

    Does it relate to buying or selling?

    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

    We've added two new Barclays muni bond ETFs:

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

    (Thanks JohnB.)

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

    Municipal Default Alert: Vallejo, California [view article]
    They must have closed their schools a long time ago, here in Va. 80% of our local budget goes for schools. One nice thing they have a bankruptcy plan executed by Orange County to guide them. Reply

    Municipal Default Alert: Vallejo, California [view article]
    A website put up by Vallejo residents before the last mayoral election in November 2007 had a list of firefighter salaries/overtime for 2006. All were over $100,000. The highest was about $379,000. #1 retired in 2007 and probably qualified for the maximum payout (3% credit for each year of service x 30 years of service = 90% of final year's compensation), or over $300,000 pension per year for life. That is surely the way to municipal bankruptcy. Many cities and counties in California and the State itself offer such a plan to public safety employees. Watch for library closings coming to a town near you. California's public employee pension law needs to be changed but I guess it will take a full blown financial crisis before the Democrats (who control both the Assembly and the Senate) have the guts to take on the public employee unions.

    This one is far from over. Vallejo pays 80% of it's budget for police and fire services. The only thing that kept the town going was the huge home price runup, sales to commuter from San Francisco, and the high property tax and transfer taxes. That is over, and Vallejo is only the first Ca city to start the downward rating path. Reply
