HYD: This High-Yield ETF Is A Strong Buy
VanEck High Yield Muni ETF offers attractive, tax-free income, strong yield, liquidity, and broad diversification, making it compelling for taxable portfolios. HYD's current 4.67% SEC yield translates to a much higher tax-equivalent yield, especially for high earners, with lower default risk than high-yield corporates. Potential Fed rate cuts could boost HYD's price, offering both income and capital gains; the current price is below historical highs, adding upside potential.

HYD: Munis Have Momentum And Tailwinds To Keep It Going (Rating Upgrade)
Munis often rise in the months following Fed rate cuts, suggesting there is still time to get in on this play. The fund's California exposure bothers me less given how strong equity returns have been. This means personal income tax revenues in the state will rise next year. High yield munis default less than comparable corporates, supporting positions in this fund.
