Municipal bonds? Do you know how many cities are going to go belly up in the next decade due to pension obligations? If You want 1 cent on the dollar return, then buy municipal bonds.

I'm selective in the muny bonds I buy.
There are healthy cities, counties, sewer districts and the like that are safe, sound (albeit moderate return) places to invest.
One utility I own, Alliant of Wisconsin, has done wonders for shareholders.
Check their recent results.
