Holding money in a short term muni vs. treasury fund?
Holding money in a short term muni vs. treasury fund?
Seems as if muni funds have attracted a huge amount of interest recently and their yields are about half as much as comparable treasuries (apparently an unusual situation). I am looking for a holding fund that I can sink a large amount of cash into for a while (ie: dry powder). Initially, was thinking about a short term muni such as VMLUX or even an ETF such as SUB. These are all short term and relatively safe. However, it seems as if at this point in time they may not be as good a deal as treasuries. I realize that the differences are small but the overall amount I would be stashing is quite large. Just wondering if I'm on the wrong track with a short term muni and maybe should be looking at short term treasuries. Need to also take into account highest federal and state tax brackets (CA).

Don't know. One could use both.

What short treasury fund is yielding twice as much as SUB?
