Hennion and Walsh on CNBC: Tax Free Municipal Bonds

Parsippany, NJ, July 16, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Hennion and Walsh (http://www.hennionandwalsh.com) Asset Management President Bill Walsh spoke with CNBC host Mark Haines and his viewers about the benefits tax free municipal bonds can offer the individual investor looking for a steady income stream. Walsh joined Haines as part of CNBC’s Financial Advisor Network with information on what to look for when thinking about tax free municipal bonds, especially when there is so much bad economic news about city and state government tax revenues being off.

“I think you have to take a look at what the underlying security is before buying tax free municipal bonds. Grouping all tax free municipal bonds into one class is not advisable. You have to look at what you’re buying and what’s paying it. Normally, there are two or three types of bonds that are more secure than possibly others and looking at the underlying security helps to determine their safety,” says Bill Walsh, President and co-founder of Hennion and Walsh, a passionate advocate for individual investors.

Walsh goes on to explain the three types of tax free municipal bonds that can offer the most safety. The full segment can be viewed on the Hennion and Walsh blog, Portfolio Strategies News, at http://www.portfoliostrategynews.com/?p=424 .
