I just sent an email to my bond broker and instructed to sell my entire muni bond portfolio. I think we are going to start to see interest rates rise. Houses are selling. Employment seems to be improving. And in order to make money you must be AHEAD of the game many months. If I wait to be certain it can make a giant difference. As low as rates are right now, a very small move up would mean a huge drop in bond values. Since I have a nice capital gain now. I'd prefer to lock that in. And if I'm right I want to have even more money in equities.
