All of my FRiends with money in tax-free bond funds should review the fund’s bond list. A lot of them have substantial holdings in Puerto Rican bonds and, if the wide Latina gets her way, will see those holdings’ value drop to zero.

They're in the bond funds because of the high interest rates due to the risks of default.

And now the bond holder lawyers claim is that there really wasn't any risk since PR couldn't declare bankruptcy?

SCOTUS going 4-4 on this knowing there's no precedent risk seems like a fair bet.
