Thursday, March 21, 9:24 AM iShares adds to its existing lineup of Target Date S&P Municipal Series. MUAG tracks an investment grade muni bond index comprised exclusively of issues maturing in 2018. Its expense ratio of 0.30% is in line with other iShares target date series ETFs, but higher than other municipal ETFs TFI (0.20%), MUB (0.25%), PRB (0.24%), NYF (0.25%). Comment!
Thursday, March 22, 2012, 10:59 AM Where do municipal bonds go after giving back much of their big early YTD gains alongside the rise in Treasury yields? While yields are no longer at the "absurdly high" ratio of 150% of Treasurys seen last fall, at 115-120%, they remain well above pre-crisis norms of 85-95%, writes John Mousseau, continuing to see value in the sector. Comment! [U.S. Economy]
Saturday, February 4, 2012, 8:15 AM The "fade Whitney" trade may be getting close to played out as municipals tack a 2.31% rise in January onto a 10.7% gain in 2011, with yields for top-rated paper now at or near all-time lows. Lower-rated munis offer the best relative value, says Jim Kochan, but investors should expect coupon income and nothing more for the rest of the year. 2 Comments [U.S. Economy, Quick Ideas]
Monday, June 6, 2011, 3:27 PM Once more unto the breach for Meredith Whitney who, armed with comprehensive data, continues to insist state finances are far worse than commonly thought. Of particular note is unfunded pension liabilities, kept off state balance sheets, but 3X larger than on-balance sheet debt. 7 Comments [U.S. Economy]
Monday, May 9, 2011, 8:04 AM Banks renewed or replaced 85% of expiring letters of credits with municipalities in Q1, a report from Moody's shows, easing fears of a costly scramble to refinance tens of billions of dollars. The banks had issued these notes, worth $13.5B, during the financial crisis. 4 Comments [U.S. Economy]
Friday, April 8, 2011, 8:48 AM Investors pulled another $1.15B out of muni bond funds last week, the 21st straight week of outflows totalling more than $30B. Equity funds took in $7.7B, led by emerging market equities at $2.7B - the fourth-largest weekly tally in almost 20 years. 1 Comment

Wednesday, January 12, 2011, 8:51 AM To temper Jamie Dimon's bearishness on muni bonds, a bullish note from DoubleLine Capital's Greg Whitely, who says a blanket dismissal of the muni sector "would be a big mistake." The end of the Build America Bonds program "creates a very favorable supply/demand dynamic in a sector replete with liquid, high-quality and high-yielding bonds." 1 Comment
Wednesday, January 12, 2011, 8:36 AM "If you are an investor in municipals you should be very, very careful," JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon warns. He expects more municipal bankruptcies this year, as states contend with $140B in deficits. 3 Comments
Monday, December 20, 2010, 12:42 PM “The most alarming thing ... is the level of complacency,” says Meredith Whitney, warning about a financial meltdown in state and local governments "in the next 12 months." The size of this calamity? "Fifty to 100 sizeable defaults ... hundreds of billions of dollars." 34 Comments [Global & FX]
Tuesday, November 16, 2010, 7:55 AM Muni bond funds continued to plummet Monday on heavy volume led by California (CMF, CXA, PWZ) and long-term funds (MLN). In contrast, NY State munis fared much better (NYF, PZT, INY). However, Robert Kane believes that despite the declines, muni bond investors are still twice as likely to buy as they are to sell. 1 Comment
