The general rule of thumb is that the higher your tax bracket, the more municipal bonds can help.

Municipal bonds for a safe, return

Although no investment carries "zero" risk, municipal bonds offer a high degree of safety. And in today's uncertain economic environment, that means a lot. Different types of municipal bonds carry varying degrees of risk, which is why it's important to be familiar with the different types of bonds available. One of the best ways to reduce risk, is to buy a bond that is backed by private insurance. This insurance provides an extra measure of safety for investors because it guarantees the timely payment of the bond's principal and interest. Many

consider this insurance a "safety rjet" for their investment.
