Babson Warns Some Municipal Bonds Are Too High
Babson cautions that municipal bonds in large cities like New York and Boston are risky, with potential for sharp drops if war or tax policy shifts occur. He cites Florida issuers' reorganization history, warns weak issuers may default, and advocates evaluating bonds by merit rather than tax benefits. He favors quality corporate or railroad bonds over taxable munis in today’s climate.
