The fact that it's at extremely low levels right now makes me concerned.

Muni Fund Outflows   

Muni Ouflows
If you've been listening to my videos and reading my newsletter, you are minimally affected by the Municipal Bond declines over the past 2 months.

To do:  Continue to avoid Municipal Bonds unless you've really done your homework

Mike Brady Turns 42

I know you're thinking the big event on February 6th is the Super Bowl.

Wrong!

It's my 42nd birthday.  I'm proud that I put on a High School sweatshirt the other day and it still fit. 

I'm healthy, loved, and active in life.  What more can I ask for?
