Plus, if our self-interest is to maixmize returns and AVOID taxes, doesn't it make more sense to go with Muni's? Maybe I'm wrong on that, but the less taxes I have to pay, the less paperwork my CPA has to do, the less I am billed for when it comes to tax time. This is somthing some people forget. Just because you get a lightly higher rate of return doesn't you get your money's worth. I know what my CPA bills me because I request an itemized list when she bills me. The less that's on there, the more I keep. Totally. Plus, if our self-interest is to maixmize returns and AVOID taxes, doesn’t it make more sense to go with Muni’s?
