Wall Street Traders Bring Home Far More Than Brain Surgeons
If you are in Muni's, go without your own state tax exemption, and go with the solvent states. Yes, there are a few of them. Nebraska, North and South Dakota and Wyoming.— January 21, 2011 5:10 p.m.

Wait until the closed end bond funds are yielding between 9-10% as they did at the height of the crisis in 2008-2009. Locking in that kind of a tax free yield only happens once or twice a decade, maybe more often in this uncertain world. Plus, for many state governments, municipal interest payments are second only to education in the pecking order, so the safety is greater than some kooks in the media are suggesting.— January 20, 2011 5:37 p.m.

The Chinese just might, possibly a new reserve currency for the world. This is not lost on gold which is in a 10 year bull market, quite a run for anything. This is a race to the bottom of the currency barrel. The pound sterling may be the world's oldest currency, but it's days are numbered. It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out.— January 19, 2011 6:47 p.m.

Pretty ironic that the dollar and euro go back and forth between being considered the "safe currency" to be in. Both Moody's and S & P have made it clear that the dollar is hanging by a loose thread over thin ice.— January 19, 2011 6:17 p.m.
