In this presentation, Marilyn will discuss two major sectors; municipal bonds (both taxable and tax free) and corporates. Municipal bond sink holes are plentiful yet contagion hasn’t occurred. Marilyn will share some of her best “Pillow Portfolio” muni ideas and the tools you need to stay current.

Corporate bonds; on the other hand, are the mirror opposite of municipals; downgrades exceed upgrades, bloated balance sheets equal deterioration and the M & A activity can be deadly to your positions. She will cover tenders, change of control provisions, covenants being stripped and how to navigate around it all.

• How to select, manage and monitor individual bonds.
• The tools and flexibility individual bonds can add to balance your portfolio.
