3 High-Yielding Municipal Bonds


July 19, 2013

By:

Municipal bonds are debt administered by a town, state, school district or any other public organization that services the public. The bonds are sold to the public with the intention of paying the debt back with interest at a later date. Bonds can be an attractive investment since they are considered relatively safe. A bond s yield is the amount of the bond that is returned back to the investor. Below are the current top three highest-yielding bonds.
