    My only exposure is thru a vanguard fund (VWAHX) . Currently yielding 3.2% (4% on a 20% marginal tax rate). I'll keep my diversity and liquidity over chasing another few % yield.

      Looks like several 5% AA rated tax free bonds are available now.

      I'm in a hold pattern trying to start buying at 5.5%

        Muni bonds

        RiverRat, you can also purchase several Texas bonds that are fully insured. Several municipal utility district issuances in the Houston and Austin areas are like this. They of course yield a little less but combining a good rating with insurance is pretty dang safe.

          Just saw a 12 month CD was paying 4.4%

          Strange a 1 year CD is 4.4% but 20-30 year bond is only 5%

            I've seen some 3 month CD rates in mid-high 3's too. Lots of flexibility there.

                      Seems like a decent time to build a cd ladder

                        You have to buy these thru a broker. Most retail brokerages should have the option. I use schwab and they have several options.
