I cannot think of a worse value, more high risk investment than muni's. Even now. I wouldn't touch them. 

Principal is at risk.

Here are some longer term breadth charts that may be of "interest" for a better perspective.

 

First is the Junk Bond A/D line with HYG

 

Second is Municipal Bond CEF A/D line with MUB

 

Third is Investment Grade Bond A/D line with CORP.

 

As you can see, we've had quite a bit of bearish divergence in the debt asset class for quite awhile now with the muni's currently at critical support.

I'll call a low here by Friday. Possibly tested again, but a low nonetheless. The financial system is fine. Munis suck.

Fed has declared 4 more interest rate hikes coming before end of 2019.

Based on that all interest sensitive stuff looks premature to me. Better

time to go long would be next fall. Just my opinion. In the meanwhile,

even the MM funds don't look so horrible, yield wise.

Muni's are not the same as the others.  For them to crash you have to believe that government will not be collecting taxes to pay the interest.  With the economy doing so well you should look for a buy on the munis.
