Investment instruments should be used for their intended purposes; futures and options for capital excitement, Treasuries for income, and munis for tax-advantaged income. Municipal bonds (munis) offer tax-free income but come with credit risk, making diversification essential; building a personal diversified portfolio is costly and inefficient. Munis are attractive for those with a Federal income tax rate above 24%, providing better tax-equivalent yields despite higher risk and lower interest rates.
