Bonds, CPI Collection And Columbia

These days I’m mostly interested in muni-Bonds. It seems to me that the IG rates new issues I’ve been offered since late last summer have risen and are staying reasonably stable at or near 5% (7.7% in my bracket). Most now come insured and/or with sinking fund protection and 8-10 year call protection. At 80, it’s hard to crave T-bonds when I make more with munis.
