Bond Market Yields

 Here are the latest bond market yields for today. However, since inflation is now pegged at 2% one has to also figure in what one is saving in taxes compared to taxable investments since muni bonds are tax free both to state and federal taxes if you are buying muni bonds in your own state. So, figuring this in likely you are breaking even against inflation or you are making a little bit of money. But, mostly what you are doing is treading water in Muni bonds for safety during these times. Stock Brokers and money managers often recommend during these times a 60-40 split in your investments where you put 60% into stocks (usually dividend bearing stocks) and 40% into muni bonds for safety and security. Likely by so doing you aren't going to get completely wiped out by a stock market crash, especially if your life style doesn't really require access to your 60-40 investments at this time. Many people are going more into cash to prepare for whatever the world brings too. However, just remember that you still need to get over 2% (right now) just to break even on whatever your investment is.
