then tax the wealthy more. But according to Chap 5 of "How to Buy Stocks," fed gov't has been trying to stop tax free bonds, but cities etc. complain since they won't necessarily see an increase in federal revenue coming their way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So I guess I should buy some highly rated tax free bond. I stop to think for a minute that maybe I should consider specific stocks that have big increases, but my problem is that I would feel bad about getting out before a year. To get .14 tax free, the gain would have to be .14/(1-.67) = 38%! [noted in green ink] Just .14/(1-.5) = 28% [/note] If turned in before one year.

Further bond markets are at a low. So if I can get locked in at 14%, then if rates fall, bond value will rise.

Note: pg 29 of "Stocks" say that bond mkt is many times bigger. So what I'm doing is not real odd.
