I was look at the bond market....that’s what I meant. I have Intel stock and it is so low right now I may as well hang on to it. Intel, basically, is a good company and I can’t see them going out of business. I’m betting they will come out of this one way or another. May be a bad bet but you gotta do something. I have the certificates as well. Don’t trust brokers any more. If I end up using them to light the woodstove, so be it.

OH — OK, sorry, misunderstood.

Corporate bonds - the right corporate bonds - are probably a good investment right about now.

What’s “the right corporate?” Well, nothing in financials, nor in consumer discretionary - like auto companies.

I’m starting to sniff around bonds from companies in heavy industry with good track records, big tech, biotech/pharma... things like that.

There are some people putting out ‘buy’ recommendations on muni’s, but I’d want to avoid certain states - like CA, LA, NY, NV, AZ, MD, MI, OH, etc...
