Re: Exchanging Fund for Multiple Funds in Taxable

Thanks livesoft. I'll go ahead and exchange all shares to the money market account. I just want to be safe and make sure the capital gains and dividends don't get reinvested into the new funds.

Re: Taxable Accounts

What tax bracket do you start to consider investing in municipal bonds vs taxable bonds in a taxable account? Is 25% usually the starting point?
